    Which surp for 7 Mag & j-bullets?

    My son shoots a 7 mm. Rem. Mag. He shot a 6mm. Rem for years, and just got to longing for a bigger boomer when he finally wore that old 6 out. I want to load for him, and have several boxes of 160 gr. bullets that were given to me, or were acquired in trades as surplus. Don't currently have a 7 myself, though the 7 Mauser makes my eyes twinkle. What have you guys found to work best in the 7 mag, on average? WC-860, 872, or 7383, or what else?

    I can get about 8 lb. of the surplus for not much more than what 1 lb. of the "good stuff" costs, and will likely place a case lot order soon, so a keg of slow stuff for his 7 mag, and to play with using my cast bullets, seems like a must-do.

    BW; 872, 5010, 860 in that order for me, I have used 7383 with light bullets in the 7 mag. , if you could find any WC852SLOW LOT it would be great with the 160's
