Q re: Hornady Manual

[Pilgrim]

While searching for 7X65R reloading data, I read on another board that the latest(?) Hornady manual has that cartridge included in it. I don't have that manual, there isn't any dealers within ~ 50 miles that would have it, and really don't want to order it for one cartridge. Does anybody on this board have a copy of same? I am interested in data for the 7X65R and bullets in the 150 gr to ~ 160 gr. range. I don't think Hornady has a 160, but they do have a 154 and that is close enough for my purposes. All of the info I have been able to find on the web has data for powders I don't have, or bullets I'm not interested in. Most of the data is for Norma and VV powders. I'd like to find a load for H4831 or H4831sc. Velocities would be much appreciated as the rifle these loads are for is a double rifle, and velocities are critical for both barrels to shoot to the same point of aim. TIA Pilgrim

The powders you mention are not listed in any of the bullet weights. If you want the other data I'll be glad to log it.

Hope you find this useful!

Thanks for the info. I can figure out the H4831 data from comparison with the IMR 4831 loads used in similar cartridges (i.e. 280 Rem for example). Pilgrim
