7mag H1000 160 gr bullets
 

Gunshow is on this weekend so I'll be stocking up on some powders and wondering if I should try some H1000 for the 7 rem mag and 160gr bullets. I have heard alot about its use with heavier for caliber bullets just never tried any yet. What is your thoughts? ShouldI just stick to Imr 7828 as a comparisonto RL22? Availabilityhas been tougherwith RL22, I have a good supply of a proven lot but would like to have some options JIC.

Thanks

I've been looking at H1000 myself. I want to shoot 168gr Berger VLD's and the Berger data shows it asthe fastest powder. I can't sayI've ever used it, but I've heard some really good reviews w/ the 7RM.

I've never used H1000 out of my 7mag. RL22 seems to work good for me, so I've never seen the reason to change yet. I have used some various other powders experimenting, but always fall back to the RL22.

I've got a good selection of loading books around me if you need some load data for anything.

Rammer like you RL22 has worked very well. However like I mentioned its availabilityhas becomesuspect here it seems and while I haven't experienced big lot swings I know it exists from all the others who have. I would like to have options, 7828 looked promising but was just wondering if their were others I should try instead or as well.

Yeah I'd be interested in seeing load data on H1000 and RL25 to compare with RL22 and 7828.

Thanks

Any particular bullets you are looking at loading with the H1000? I got the complete loadbook for the 7mm Rem Mag sitting here.

Yeah rammer that is the problem with both these powders. The info I have seenis well above 66grs - 70-72.5 seems to be what guys are pushing to get in the 3000 area.

I have the newest availablelymans, nolser and barnes so that alright...thanks for the offer though.

I just did come checkin and I had good luck with IMR 4350 and IMR 4831 out of my 7mag. That was with the 140gr bullets. Never tried that with heavier bullets.

Well, you can go out and buy a pound of thisor a pound of that or whatever until you have spent one hundred dollars or you can buy a pound of RL22 and have the best power for the 7Mag there is period! Been there, done that. Save your ducats and don't worry about 22.8794563 feet per second.:DRegards, Rick.
