I haven't done a chamber impression for the xp yet, but i want to shoot this xp, cause i just got it from a good friend of mine and it's driving me crazy not to be able to shoot it! SOOO, anyone have some good starting load data using RL-7 pushing a GC 130 grain?

Thanks

Generally speaking, any load that is safe for a jacketed bullet of equal weight will be safe for cast.

that's what i was looking for, thanks high standard. i spent hours on the net then got the bright idea to check with the shooters on IHMSA! Lo and behold, here we are. Thanks for checking for me.

The Lyman 49th has listed 18.5 starting and a max of 21.5 with the 160 Lyman bullet for 7 B.R. with RL7. I really like this powder and I run 24.5 gr. Under the 160 Lyman bullet in my 7-08 striker it easy shoot MOA.

I'll have to check my notes , I think I had tried some 130's with RL-7.
