I just picked up an SSK 7mm TCU barrel. I was wondering if anybody has any pet loads for it. I was really hoping to shoot 100gr bullets through it. Any help will be appreciated.
Mine really likes 26gr of Accurate 2200...a bulk powder they released a couple years ago and probably ran out of by now. I use either a 100gr Hornady HP or 120gr V-Max...both loads are super accurate.
7mmTCU reminds me of 308 Winchester... Just about any old load will make you seem to be a GREAT reloader and shot... <snicker>
I'd recommend using your favorite medium burning rifle powder and starting a full 2gr below maximum because if JD chambered it tight and used a Shilen barrel you will probably get pressure signs at below "book max"...
7mmTCU is one of the "perfect" Contender cartridges...
Guys, Thanks for the input. I really want to shoot the lighter bullets. It's gonna be just a fun gun. Probably no hunting or anything serious. I had a 7 TCU once before but it was bought strictly to be a 7JDJ. Well hopefully, the barrel will be here anyday and I'll do some loading and see what happens. Maybe, I'll try my favorite Varget and see what happens. Thanks again.
