7mm mag load

Anybody have a hunting load that uses 154 grain hornaday interbond with imr-4831? How many grains of powder do you use?

Thanks, new2276

The hornady reloading manual should give you a Max load.

My best advice. Go to the Hodgdon web site and look up your caliber, powder and bullet weight. Get a low and high figure. Start Low and work up 1/2 grain at a time till you see your best 2-3 shot grouping. Fine tune the charge and your done.
Its never good to troll for a powder /bullet recipe. Best to do your own testing as it's safer for you & easier on your rifle.

Yep, plenty of FREE and RELIABLE/PROVEN data that is easy to look up before you rely on some anonymous source from the internet
