Ok so I have searched alot on the web and here. Problem I am having is that I want to load 130gr BTHP Sierra MatchKings and 130gr bullets aren't the most popular. Most shoot 140gr-160gr bullets. Thats what my friend shoots in his .308(168gr) and I really like the results. So I have a box of 130gr Sierras and have been looking for powders. I think I want to go with IMR4831 or H4831, leaning towards the IMR, but depends on what I can get at the local shop. I don't want to have to order it and pay expensive shipping. We will also be using CCI large rifle primers and the gun for the load is a Rem700 ADL and will be used for whitetail hunting and target shooting. Whitetail here in Oklahoma aren't huge in comparison to other parts of the country, so 130gr are plenty capable of doing the job.
so the question being, what powder is recommended and does anyone have experience with 7mag reloads using 130gr bullets?
