7x47 XP-100

[historicfirearms]

I'm starting to reload for an XP-100 chambered in 7x47. The previous owner gave me a set of 7tcu dies that he used to neck size 222 rem mag brass. I think this is the same cartridge as 7x47 Helm and Hornady makes dies for that one if I need a full length sizer. What I'm after is load data. 7TCU data should get me close as the cartridge is nearly identical except for shoulder shape and location. Anyone ever reloaded the 7x47 and have any good loads they want to share? I'm thinking of getting a 7mm mold too and like the looks of the rcbs 7mm silhouette.

Another good design is the Saeco 070 in 145g and 071 in 160g. My wife and I shot them in IHMSA competition for years in both TC's, in 7mmTCU, and our XP-100's that were also chambered in 7mmCU.

I personally favored the RCBS 145 for all of my sillywett shooting. I have used it in the 7mm Intl Rimmed, 7BR, 7 TCU, 7 IHMSA and a couple of other 7mm wildcats. Lubed with LBT blue it always brought home the bacon to the tune of 20+ State Championships.
