Default 7mm RUM Reloading Question

I was wondering what other people are using for powder,grains and lead for reloading. I shoot a Sako and use RL22 with about 80 grains (don't have my log book handy) and 162 grain Hornady SST . It shoots pretty good but I think I can do better. Any help would be appreciated.

I just picked up a 7mm RUM a few weeks ago. Been shooting some factory ammo while I figure out what I plan on loading.

Thinking I'll probably go with the 140grain Accubonds. The partitions are nice for sure but I want something low fouling for mostly doing some long range shooting at targets (paper and metal gongs) and medium sized game (deer).

I was planning on going with RL25 and starting with 87grains.

I'm definately interested in what others are using for loads.

IMR 7828 in 150gr or lighter.

Retumbo or RL 25 for the heavier lead.

IMH7828, Retumbo and RL25 all work well in mine shooting 140 and 160 accubonds.

Swift Scirocco 150gr bullets with 89.5 gr of H1000 , Remington 9 1/2 Mag Primer and Remington Case. Will shoot .429" or less groups @ 100 all day. Bullet has done very well on both close and long range animals, from Antelope to moose. Always be careful getting Reloading info off a board. I worked many loads up from the Swift Reloading manual before I found the one my gun liked. I wanted these bullets and just kept working until I found a good load.
