Hornady brass
Avg velocity is 2820 fps
ES 25 SD 13.7
Smallest measured group was 0.26moa, biggest was 0.488” at 100 yards.

This is what I used this year. 200 yard moose, 195 yards mule.

Not horribly happy with SD and ES but it’s not horrible either. I have another load that has single digit spreads and 30 FPS lower velocity.

My buddies 7mm is 57.3gr H4350 and shooting 2823 FPS. This shoots just north of 0.5 MOA. The ES and SD are rather large, and getting into the single digit real, velocity didn’t change much, 25 FPS slower, but it went to 2.77 MOA at 100 yards.
Those are some mild loads for a 7mmremmag. My own 150 gr loads for rhe 7mmremmag typically run 3000-3100 fps.
