7mm Mag. powder suggestions ?

[M.T.]

What powders have you had good results with reloading 7mm mag.

to achieve maximum velocity RL 22 and IMR 4831 are good places to start. IMR 4350 will produce lower velocities, but many times better accuracy. LIke anything else its a trade off.

IMR 7828, Good velocity and good accuracy.

I tried H-1000 and I couldnt for the life of me get a decent velocity out of it. Pushing a 160 gr bullet I could barely get 2800 fps. With RL 22 I can push a 160 gr bullet at about 3100. Different guns I guess.

*edit, checked my records after I posted, H-1000 gave me 2725 and RL22 gave me 3060.

R-22 has been the best performer for me in the 7mmremmag.

RL22, IMR4831 & IMR7828 (especially for the 160 gr bullets) has worked well for me interms of velocity and accuracy in my 7 mags. Haven't tried the H4831SC but also hear good things about it for the 7 mag.

Niorma's N205, and MRP; IMR 7828 (created for the 7 Mag!), H4831, and RE 22.

H1000. I get about 3090 fps with a 20 fps velocity deviation with this when shooting 139 Hornady SST's.

I agree with Mossy. For the 160 gr. and up my favorite is the RL-22 and for the 150 gr. down the IMR 4831 seems to work the best with my rifle.
