Any recommended moulds and/or loads for the 7mm TCU ctg.? I plan to use it for silhouette. Thanx in advance.

I had good luck with the SAECO 070 and 281. I seated the 281 to the first lube groove more often than not. The 281 was less finicky about loads, but the 070 proved to be the better of the two if finely tuned loads and max velocity, in the 7TCU, where the ultimate goal. Interestingly the 281 worked better in the 7mm BR before I made it into a .284 Winchester. They where both fully adequate for the task you mention, with the edge going to the 281 for ease of loading. The 071 might be the better all-around bullet, but it will require more sight screw twisting.

RCBS 145 Sil mold, exttremely accurate, fully dressed it weighs 154 grains. Lyman #2 alloy, WW/10-12% lino, 20:1 all shoot good and doesn't have to go fast to take the ram.
Lots of good loads out there, what are you going to shoot it in?
