Thanks
I just posted a topic looking for info. on the 7mm RUM. I have been researching this some and I can't seem to get a 150gr 7mm bullet up to that. I think he is full of crap.
www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=892639
Here is a link for factory ammo that claims 3325 fps with 150 sciroccos. Buy some factory loads and see how the shoot.
The factory 180's shot 1 moa out of my 300 at 100 yards before I bedded and had the trigger done.
Thats what we've been shooting (Remington Premier) 150 Sciroccos.
But at $60 a box, I can load them for 1/2 that. Will probably shoot 168gr. Sierra matchking and 139gr. Hornady's and keep the sciroccos for hunting.
Depending on the powder you plan to use, you could start here.

All the 150 gr loads use a Scirocco!
Good Luck.
You can request a properly printed pair of those pages at no charge from Hodgdon.
That was about the only info. I had till this forum.
I wonder if the stuff on the Hodgdon site is correct,after reading Rocky's addition about their manual being misprinted kinda scares me.
I always start low and work up but these are huge loads with massive pressures.
I sent you an e-mail hoping you could send me your data out of those load manuals, Please if you have a chance.
Sierra doesn't list anything for the 7mm Rum as far as load data.
Hornady lists: 139gr Bullet
AA3100 starting at 77.6 3000fps max84.4 3300fps
H 4831 Start 78.3 3000fps Max86.1 3300fps
Rl 22 Start 74.2 3000fps max 90.4 3400fps
Imr7828 start 78.7 3000fps Max 89.1 3400fps
viht N-165 start 78.5 3000fps max 86.8 3300fps
H1000 start 88.1 3100fps max 96.4 3500fps
Sorry I took so long to get this info for you. This is all of the load data that is listed for the Hornady 139gr bullet.
