Also try 19-20 grains IMR SR4759 with any 140-154 grain bullet. I use Federal 205M primers. I'm sure any benchrest primer would work. Your COAL will depend on how your chamber was cut.

this is about as accurate of a load that you will find.

I haven't shot a 7BR too much but AA2015 and IMR 8208 both seemed to shoot well. I just ordered some H-322 to try.

if your getting an es of 24 and an sd of 9 with you current load i would leave it alone if your velocity is what you want. allen
