R23 in 7RM info

[Rob5589]

Anyone using the R23 in their 7 rem mag? I am currently using 22 but am running low so went to buy some. Sold out everywhere but, found 23 so picked up a few lbs. Looks to be nearly identical to 22 but with better temp stability. Even the load data is nearly identical. Using the 140 TTSX for reference.

145 LRX, 0.050" off the lands, Nosler brass 64.8gr RL23 gets me 3200 fps out of a 26" barrel. It's accurate to 500 yards, longest I've shot it.


EDIT: it's different from RL22, don't use it as a direct replacement. As always, work up to your loads. My load is max in my rifle.

65.5 grains with a 140 gr nosler accubond. Works awesome.
