reloader 7

[dan09]

Is 65 grains of reloader 7 safe with a 325 grain Hornady ftx  shot from a 50 cal stock Savage m/11. Can you read any pressure signs from a shot primer. Thanks for any replies.

I think you'll be OK at 65grs with a 327gr bullet. Someone was shooting like 70gr behind a 300gr IIRC. TG only traced 250gr bullet loads and with 70gr those only traced around 30ksi. I shot some RL10 a few months ago and it showed some promise in a stock .50.

With the vent you may not see pressure signs on the primer till it's too late.

When I had my Savage,my go to load was 67 grains RL7 with the 300 grain Barnes Original....

The load traced above seemed safe in conditions present at the time but may not be under other conditions.

d**n, my shoulder hurts just looking at that load/curve! 10

I think it will be OK, I used to shoot 67gr with the .457 300 Rem with a Har BCR sabot.

That's looking pretty stout. Thanks TGinPA for putting that info out there.

You have to remember he is shooting in a .50 so the curve is going to be a tad different then the trace showed which was a .45.

When I had my Savage ML'er II I shot Re-7 65.0 grains with 250 and 300 bullets also shot 68 grains but accuracy fell off

Going to be a thumper for sure, looking at 4770fpe if it comes out at the traces speed. Might not be very sabot friendly.

Thanks for reply. I am only getting about 2150 fps . Should it be faster than that.
