I am a new member I been shooting TC pistols for some time now, target shooting and hunting . I have 6 barrels . I like to shoot some steel rams but do not no of a place here in eastern ky to shoot . I love to hunt and shoot my TC 's . I have killed deer with my 7mm/08 pistol . What kind of bullets do you have to shoot steel with??? Thanks guys Darrell C

When shooting silhouettes, I always used the Hornady 154 gr. spire point in my 7mm-08, 7 mm TC/U's, and 7mm/308 with complete satisfaction. When I hunt using a 7mm-08, I use a 139 gr. Hornady spire point.

Yes, the 154 gr is great for steel in the 7R.
Try 18.5 gr of SR 4759 for 1633 fps from a 10" barrel. It is deadly.
For deer use the 120 gr SSP bullet with 34.5 gr of Varget---YES, YES, Varget. Only powder I found that will shoot the light bullet. The 7BR shoots it super with 154 gr but if you try a 175 gr in it, 322 is better. 5 shots in 3/8" at 100.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot???

Maybe, "This is an exciting item?" Where are you located again??

I have the 14 in. Barrel on my 7mm international rimmedi rl12 powder shoots good and h335 , 28to 30 gr. Sierra 140 pro-hunter. 1/2to3/4 at 100 yds. Anyone shooting this cal. Like loads data for target and hunting, want to deer hunt with it. Out to 200 yds

Darrel, Is that 28 to 30gn of RL12 or H335? I recently picked up a 7mmIR 14" barrel for my Contender and have just started working up loads for it.

If anyone has some other good loads for this Cal. I am all ears. I'm not finding a lot of info out there for the 7mmIR so I can use all the help I can Get. This will mainly be a hunting pistol so 120 to 130gn bullets is what I will use most I also cast 135gn soupcan bullets for 7mm and am open to suggestions for that also.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone shooting 7 international rimmed ??? I using it to deer hunting like loads for it. I have hornary load book. Out to 200 yds . Mine likes flat base bullets so far but try anything Thanks

Folks,

I've notified Gary about "moser." I think we've been spammed!

Doc

I had a 14" contender barrel years ago --if I recall I used 120gr BT's and H4895

Very long neck on that case

should do much betterthan the 7-30 with large long bullets if you have enough twist

Anyone deer hunt with this cal???? Is 200 yds ok to deer hunt with it
Like loads for deer thanks DC

Cool, I have H4895 in the powder bin. May I ask a starting point.

Darrel, I'm not trying to hijack your thread but was going to ask the same question and saw your thread and did not see a reason to ask the same in a different thread. Much appreciated.

Randy, The Birddog.

Hi Randy do you have a 7 international rimmed , mine is 14 in. On conternder

I've used it a number of times to take deer in excess of 200 yards and I used it to take my largest buck, a 230 lb. 10 pt. Now when I used it I was using a 130 gr. Hornady spire hollow point that was designed for a 7mag but they don't make that bullet any more so you'll have to pick a different bullet but the cartridge is very capable.

Yes, I have the same it is a rechambered 7tcu. I just acquired it recently and have been looking for some good starting loads for it for 120-130 gn. jacketed and 135 gn. cast bullets.

Randy, The Birddog.

Hi Randy mine too. Was a 7tcu . I got it , it was all ready rechamber for 7 international rimmed
