I have a 15" barrel in 7mm Rem. Mag. and I trying to work up a load for this barrel. I shoot 140 in my 26" barrel but I am looking to just use this upto 100 yards and have been reading that I should load a heiver bullet in it. I am teying some 162 grns bullets with H4198 at 40.2 grns trying to work around 2300f/s.
if anyone has any insight to this load I would like some help.

I shoot 162 gr Hornady with 59 grs of IMR-4350 with Federal 210 primer but out of a 26" tube. Very accurate but I don't have any idea how it would do out of your 15" tube. My 15" tube is a 338 Federal. Deadly on mule deer.
Good luck and good shooting...

nocturnalnasty wrote on Mon, 03 September 2012 08:38Based on the 1724 fps velocity that is shown above in IMR's data I ran the numbers in Exbal and here is what I got.
Hope it helps you.

John,
I got excited when I saw that program, so I Google searched Exbal. Looks like they haven't kept up with current technology. They have software for Palm (really? ), but not Mac's or iPhone's / IPad's (An IPad app would be awesome!). Do you know of any similar software or apps I could download?
All the best,
Glenn
If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!
