Hey all Its me again, I bought some 7mm 145gr Speer Grand Slams and my speer manual doesnt list them for the 7mm Rem Mag. I am using IMR4350 would some one share a starting load and Max load It sure would be appreciated. Also Im almost out of IMR4350 so if another powder would be better please advise Thanks Jimmy
I forgot to mention this will be my first time with a crimp load and Ive read all I can on the subject but if you have a hint or tip please share again Thanks Jimmy

Hey Jimmy.My Hodgdon manual gives data for the 145 gr Speer bullet , but with Alliant powder.
Reloder 22 and 64.5 grains is max
Reloder19 and 61,7 grains is max.
I am sure you know that crimping a bullet can cause slight increases in pressure so look for signs as you get near the book max.
I will try to find some IMR data for you and if we have to ,we can get data for the 140 and 150 and split the max charge for the 145..
Anybody with IMR data and this bullet help us out here..

Hi Two Beards, I've never loaded for the 7mm Mag, but my Speer #12 manual shows a start load of 56gs and a max load of 60gs of IMR4350 with the 145gr Grand Slam.
Whenever I've used a bullet with a crimping cannelure I haven't bothered crimping the case. Others might have a different opinion to offer. Hope you find a good load for it.

Thanks GR for helping out here...Speer is one of the manuals I don`t have.I have had to bum Speer info off of Rob1 in the past..I guess I should pick one up ..

Timber, you don't need to buy the manual. Apparently enough of us have it, so just ask us anytime you need data.
