Hoping someone could run some numbers on quickload for me. Trying to run Barnes lrx 139gr with Vihtavuori 565 in my 7 mag. I've asked around for load data and seems no one has ran this combo. All load data I can find for this powder is for 180s and higher. Currently have a load using H1000 which I've read is close to the same burn rate and size. Just like to always be educated before I do anything, just a little bit of my OCD. Appreciate it.

According to QL, they're pretty close, the 565 is about 2 grains denser on a full case, but if you do a grain for grain load, you should be good. The N565 won't be as compressed, and it will give you a little more velocity and pressure, from the same weight charge. If your H1000 load is close to Barnes max back off a couple grains and go up from there.
Personally, I think both of those are too slow for that bullet, just from looking at QL though. Seems like there are a lot of other powders that will easily give you another 100fps from it.
