This is from loaddata.com / Hodgdon data

I have a berger manual but I'm stuck at work.

 

H-1000 = 67.0

H-4831 = 60.5

 

These are max loads.

They did not have the .338 RUM data I needed in their new manual so I emailed them and they got it to me right away. Don't know how soon you need the info...

Tom - i have no experience loading the 7rsaum. my brother and i both load for 300 rsaum. he uses re-19 and i use varget. 168 cbt. both shoot .4"-.5" . we consider that great since our the rifles are less than 6 lbs. i am sure there is data in nosler , hornady , sierra and sierra manuals for a 168 grain bullet.

I shoot a 7mm RSAUM. I found 57.0 gr of H4350 pushing a 150-grain Sierra Game King does better than anything else I've tried. As for the Berger manual, it's well priced at $24.50 (MidwayUSA) but I heard a couple of knocks against it. Doesn't give the lengths of the test barrel that were used, and that can make a difference of a couple hundred FPS. Also doesn't identify primers.

Length of barrel and type of primers used is probably the least important information in a load manual. Doesn't matter what barrel length they tested loads in all that matters is what length of barrel you have. Same with primers. Just because a load manual says they used a federal 210 primer doesnt mean thats the only primer you can use. All loads should be worked up slowly and safely regardless of what the data says.
