    7mm Mag load data

    Hi guys,
    Just to again clear up the 7mm Mag load data I was asked for and I had a typo in my reply. As the first thread was deleted, then someone started another thread in which it was mentioned again and that one has now been closed for some reason, I've started this one to get this absolutely clear so no-one gets into trouble. The load we use in the Sako is 81.5gns of Reloder 33 behind a 180gn Berger which produces 62,000psi for 3000fps. The typo said Reloder 23, which is incorrect and would certainly be a real overload. This load is only for Tikka and Sako rifles which have very long throats. Do not use it in anything like USA factory rifles with shorter throats. And as usual work up carefully to about this 3000fps velocity out of 24.5" Sako and Tikkas, and you will be about the same 62,000psi pressure no matter the slight variability in powder batch burn rates. This is a killer long range load, and does fit in a 7mm Mag case.
    As to the original thread which was deleted, I apologise if this was against forum rules, but as had seen Red Stag Timber Hunters Club letting everyone know their show was on on here with no mention of it being against forum rules or their threads being deleted, I presumed it was ok. I won't do any more than answer questions that are asked of me in future.
    Cheers,
    Greg
