Thread: Rl22

Slightly different I know, but I had really good results with N165 on both my 7mmSAUM and 7mmWSM. The load that I was using when Thomas bought the WSM was with RL17, which gave better velocity with slightly less powder and the same sort of accuracy. All using 162gr amax, velocity between 3k and 3,135fps from 24/26 inch barrels.

+1 N165
I used it in my 7mmSAUM and worked very well, I have since changed to RL22 as it gave me good accuracy and speed but a bit less pressure.
I also use RL22 with the 145Gr LRX Barnes in my SAUM and it gives me around 3280fps

I went the other way as the load I was using with RL22 became to hot in summer,N165 has been pretty stable.

I only changed powders after I cut an inch off and suppressed my rifle, RL22 gave me back the speed with accuracy
