Accurate Arms #7

Disclaimer: All of the following powder charges were taken from reloading manuals produced by gun powder companies or other reloading manuals that may vary in powder charges greatly. Various components combined, make all the difference in the world. I am not responsible for your actions. Always refer to official reloading manuals when reloading. As usual, I must say that this information is what works for me. Use your own common sense. You are responsible for your own actions!

1. The maximum load for AA#7 is 11.0 grains according to the Accurate Arms Manual. The Speer Reloading Manual states 12.3 grains is the maximum. Obviously, these huge differences are related to the various components being used. So be careful. You guessed it: You're responsible for your own actions. I generally prefer to use light to medium loads, although the spec freaks out there aren't happy unless they see the maximum capabilities too.

2. AA#7 has a wide velocity range making it very versatile.
