Does anyone have data for this bullet? All of my manuals stop at 175gr or jump from 175 to 195. I need to run the heavier bullets as I am going to be taking some hogs at longer distances here soon.

The caliber that I need the info for is the 7mm Rem Mag.
I am going to call Berger and see what they can send me also.
Thanks for the load.

I have tried 3 of the powders Berger list, RL22, H4831sc and MagPro in a 7WSM. The velocities they give for the RL22 and H4831 are almost identical to what I am getting. I had to go almost 5 grains over Berger's max to get the same velocity out of the MagPro. Has anybody played with IMR 7828 much? It looks like it should be a top pick.
