Sako Finnbear 7mm Rem Mag Load questions

(1/3) > >>

bigmountainskiercfg:
I just picked up a Sako Finnbear 7mm Rem Mag.  Would like to start reloading for it, but not sure where to start.  Do any of you know of a good load or starting point for me?  I would like a load for elk & deer.  I'll mainly be hunting out west (Utah/Idaho).  The previous owner only shot boxed ammo out of it.  I can't afford that  ;)

Hank:
I don`t load for 7mm rem. Mag BUT IF I DID...lol
Prolly start with Nosler 160g Accubond or Hornady 162g BTSP with some Reloader 19, or IMR 4831
160g Nosler Partition probably get the job done too.
and be sure to light it off with a magnum primer.

00BUCK:
My pet load for deer is Nosler 150gr ballistic tips over 66.5gr of IMR 4831 with CCI 250 LRM primers.
Chrony's out of my Rem 700 ADL at ~3110fps. For me this is my tack driver load with 5 shot groupings of less than half an inch at 200yds and 3/4" at 300yds. Considering the bullet size those groupings can't get much tighter.

I've also used the 154 gr Hornady SST ballistic tips but they just weren't quite as accurate.

NB:
3/4" at 300 Yards?  Are you double-tapping the left ventricle?

not familiar with `double-tapping the left ventricle`..
Is that anything like throwing the BS Flag?
