Re: 7mm US load data...
Hi Dan
You will love the way it kicks out those rimmed cases.
My go to load is 150 grain sierra Match HPBT or the Sierra 150 grain SP with 24.5 grains of H322. I usually use a standard Winchester LR primer.
If was loading for a range with sticky Rams, i might go to 25.5 grains of H322.
Enjoy.

Re: 7mm US load data...
Thanks all.. it will help.
Just for reference for other shooters, This was the only load data I found on EABCO (Eben can be a pain to work with!):
7mm Ultimate Silhouette (7US) - The following loads were contributed by Rich Mishler, holder of the World Record for 500 meter handgun silhouette (32/40) shot with his BF Ultimate Silhouette Pistol chambered in 7mm US and with a 10¾" Barrel. I believe his brass was developed using EABCO 7US brass. Primers were CCIBR2 and powder is VihtaVuori. Rich has been a staunch advocate of VihtaVuori powder for increased throat life. * For Reference Only - Load at Your Own Risk
