Load data in caliber 7 x 66 SE v. Hofe with .284 | 136gr | Peregrine VLR5 (VLR-5) bullet and 164 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are Vihtavuori N560, Norma MRP and ADI AR 2213.
Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge. Since we have no control over the equipment and components used, any responsibility and liability for the results achieved is rejected.
Only powders/loads that match the current filter criteria are displayed: max pressure of a load ≤ 90% of max. standardized pressure, fill rate ≥ 80% and propellant combustion ≥ 95%. Use the sliders above the tables to adjust these thresholds.
Charge: Powder weight in grains. Start with the minimum load and work up carefully.
FR (Fill Rate): Case fill as a percentage. Values above 100% mean compressed loads.
MaxP / %: Maximum chamber pressure in bar and as a percentage of the standardized maximum for this caliber.
V(0): Muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) at the standardized barrel length.
z (Powder Burn): Estimated propellant combustion percentage at bullet exit.

Winchester StaBALL HD delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 3,353 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,998 fps to 3,353 fps. ADI AR 2217 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 164 of the 164 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.
Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (440 MPa), the top charges use 57–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 136.0 gr projectile in 0.284" calls for a 1:9.5 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. ADI AR 2217, ADI AR 2225, ADI AR 2225 reach 100 % fill or more at maximum charge, so these are compressed loads: they need a long drop tube to seat cleanly and react sensitively to the case capacity of your own brass lot. Vihtavuori N560, Norma MRP, ADI AR 2213 rank at the top here: for 7 x 66 SE v. Hofe with the .284 | 136gr | Peregrine VLR5 (VLR-5) they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
