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.

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.
