In my Hornady manual, it is not listed for bullets over 139 grains and it gave the lowest velocities for those.

I would use N-560 very similar to R-22.
Or I would use R-22 if you had some.

I love the 7 mag and have shot I a lot. I use mostly Hodgen powders because it's usually available some where.
For 140-150 grain bullets I found H4350 works well. 160's I go to H483I and with anything heavier Retumbo works exellent

They do have an online source of load data using their powders.

In the Vihtavuori link above provided by elkhunter11 they list Lapua cases for 7mm Rm, apparently they made some years ago...http://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/0...r-7mm-rem-mag/
Wish they still made them
