Reloading the 7x66 Vom Hofe

A friend recently acquired a 7x66 Vom Hofe.
Can anybody help with reloading data for the caliber?

What do you need? You can find data in the "WIEDERLADEN" of DEVA for bullets starting from 120 grs till 175 grs and powders N160 and N165 of Vihtavuori, Tub.8 of SNPE, R905 of Rottweil and IMR 4831.

They call this caliber the 7 mm SE v.H. or the 7x66 SE von Hofe.
They recommend to use progressive powders and magnum promers

Sorry, I'm way down in Namibia. WIEDERLADEN ?? How do I get to this?
I actually need a start and max load for a 170 gr bullet for some known powders. I'll have to convert to locally available powders. (importing is not an option)

Hmmm, can you read this? My German isn't so good (i.e. I don't understand it at all!!) but I do understand the loads table.

Exactly what I need, enough Germans in my circle to help me out.

Thank you SO MUCH Mike!!
