Worked on a little load dev yesterday and thought I would share.
WTO Alpha SRP brass 3x firings
CCI BR4
Berger 168 VLD Hunt
IMR 4831
2.935 COAL
22” 8.5 twist
TBAC gen 2 Ultra 7
65*
2800ft
43-46 grain ladder in half grain increments
No signs of pressure until 45.5gr with just the slightest...
The 7 SAW really is a great round. Load it heavy when needed or throw some 140’s in for the family. Going to try the 175 elite hunter for a bit and see how it does. The 162 eldm has proved to be a killer match bullet (😉).
If anyone has data on the 175 it would be appreciated, I was thinking...
I am building an 18” 300WSM and the 168 eldm is on my short list. In the eldm family there is not a giant leap in BC until you go to the 208gr. So the 168 with velocity looks to shine. 4 more months until the build is finished sorry I cannot share more.
I run the 162eldm in a 7 saw with IMR 4350, alpha brass and br4’s. Just a little less capacity than the 7-08 but you step on the alpha brass a little bit.
