Just got my heavy bbl Ruger #3 back from being rechambered from 7-08 to 7TCU.

Need suggestions from users about good moulds and loads - plain based only.

Sorry I can't be of much help since I use all gas checked cast boolits in my 7tcu T/C carbine but I do love that caliber for blacktail deer, coyote, and cougar. I have alternated between IMR 4895 and IMR 4198 powders and have had good success with both getting 2" groups at 150 yds. My projectile is from the Lee 7mm rifle mold and my muzzle velocities are about 2000 fps (not hot but my 18" barrel seems to like the load).
Hope you enjoy this caliber as much as I do:p
