Thread: 7mm rem mga is is too slow

Greetings All,
The Hodgdons data gives 64 grains of H4831SC (AR2213SC) as a max load with the Hornady 162 grain BTSP. This projectile is very close to the one you are using. This is by no means a hot load and should produce around 2,800 fps in your rifle. 60 grains is the Hodgdons start load and your velocity is reasonably close to theirs. Most load data for the 7mm Rem mag was dialled back considerably a few decades back after the change to modern pressure measurement so most loads for the calibre are mild. But as you say your loads kill well and the choice of whether to increase the load is yours.
Regards Grandpamac.
