Title: Barnes load data: 7RUM
Post by: Emptyhanded on November 25, 2014, 05:15:44 PM: Hey guys! I am about to work up a load for my friends R700 CDL in 7RUM. He bought some Barnes tsx 140 grainers and a pound of imr 7828. I currently can't find Barnes data for this combo, if someone has the Barnes manual could you please look to see if they list this combo? And if they do what the min and max charges are? If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Post by: Emptyhanded on November 25, 2014, 05:49:06 PM: I found that also. The weird thing is nosler book lists 89 as a max load with the 140 accubond. I thought it was kind of odd that the max would be roughly 2 grains lower in the Hodgdon book for the Barnes. Possibly because the old style Barnes didn't have the 3 grooves around the shank? But I'm not sure, I appreciate the info.

I don't know what the "SSC" means for the powder designation.

They got the most accurate loads from H4831SC

Hope this helps.

Max load is 89 grains. Interesting that it is different than the printed #4 Manual.
