7mm 168gr hammer hunters

Wondering good powder combos for reloading this bullet.

I shot them out of a 28 nosler with N570 & 215m’s. Got 3300fps. I think N565 or N570 would be worth a try in the 7 mag. You can call them too and they have good load data.

Yeah I have a 7rem mag, figured out I have. 1:9:5 twist so should prob look more to a 146 or 150gr

Yeah the 143's might be your best bet. They all shoot good, so that shouldn't be an issue.

With 9.5” twist, look at 131 HH or 146 HH. RL23 is a good powder.

Hammer Hunters typically do best with faster powder with their lower bearing surface area.

Plenty of load data on the Hammer forum

I shoot the 155 hammer hunter in my 7rem. Mine has a 1/8 twist. Reloader 23 has been awesome for accuracy and speed.
