Thread: Anyone loading 7mm Rem Mag using 175 EDL-X and N560?

Thanks RMM - the 2217 results you put up on Danny B's thread were pretty impressive. If I change powders I was thinking a 2217 might be a better option for a 22" barrel as is a bit faster than 2225. I would be happy I if I could get to 2900 with the 175 out of a shortish barrel. Cheers

Ha ha I really need to stop recommending that powder to other people

All good hopefully we get some more 2217 in the country some time soon as well. I really enjoy experimenting with different loads, especially loads that shouldn't be the ideal just to see if they will work.

Cheers

RL 26 just under max with the 175 gr LRAB shoots well and at about 2900 fps out of a 24 inch barrel.
