Need some insight: 7mm rem mag powders

[rdbunch20]

I use retumbo with 168 berger classic hunter and eld-x 162. ADG brass 66.5 grains with the eld-x 2950fps. 68.8 grains with bergers at 2970gps.
Currently working on N560 with the bergers to see if I can find a load.

Retumbo with 168 VLDs was the magic for my 7mm shooting around 2960fps. Originally my groups were around .6" but I'm starting to notice some change so I'll be reworking my load here soon. Another one to try that I haven't heard much of is IMR 8133. Have a buddy that was able to pick up an 8 pound jug online couple days ago. If my new 28 doesn't like retumbo I'll probably try that

Wait for H1000, look hard.

68.5ish in Norma brass with 180 vldh is 2950+ fps in a 26" barrel.

You should be much higher with a 175 than you are. The 175 EH are the 180 Hybrid built for hunting. They run about the same velocity as the 180 vld because of bearing surface. You can't get them appreciably faster than the 180s.

I like N565 with the 175EH. Similar burn rate to H1000, so, whichever you can get really. I push the 175s around 2950fps with ~66 grains in ADG brass through a 26" barrel. Temp stability is good. Love the combo, 2 bull elk/2 muley bucks in the last 2 seasons with it.

My best 7mm loads are RL22 with 175 partitions, and RL19 with 160 accubonds.

I tried 22 didn’t care for the results

same for both of the 4831

H1000 was supposed to be “IT” and it was better then 22 and 4831 so I bought a bunch of it.

But NOW it collects dust because RL26 was hands down the clear winner for me. accuracy was better than 1000 not by a landslide but still better, speed was a push nothing substantial there, But in my 7mag the 26 seemed cleaner at the shot, and even before “these trying times” H1000 was kind of a pain in the butt to locate.

I had good luck with 4064 out of both of my wife's uncles rifles. Stihr & A-bolt 7MM. I didn't shoot them for velocity but they grouped great. He rarely shoots over 200 yards so it worked great for him.

You got gold gathering dust! Lol

RL 26 and 160 AB are what my Ruger 7mm loves.
