Thread: REM model 7 load

They seem pretty easy to load for and get acceptable results - I tend to cheat now and buy borrow or flog some factory loads and try them to see what groups well before I go down the track of buying 100-count bullet boxes etc. I know the mates one ended up with 140gr boat tailed something with an exposed lead tip (I can't recall flavour now) but memory gives me 42gr of Varget (2208 in the Hogdon bottle). This is close to ADI's listed max, but was OK in that combo. I can't recall cases, but I was using Federal large rifle then. Worked well, regular 1/2-3/4 inch groups at 100m which is perfectly fine for a north island bush bat. That was using box standard Lee reloading gear too, nothing fancy.
