[QUOTE="7stw, post: 594038, member: 22854"] Freebore, I have 4pounds of this powder and tried it in my 7RUM. I tried 91 grains and a 140 nosler ct bullet. I did not have have my chronograph at that time, but I don't think the velocity was not that much. Recoil as lite, but the muzzle blast was ferocious! I think it will be useful with heavy bullets, versus lite 140's. I will eventually try some 160's and will revisit it. I am told that if you use Retumbo charge weighs and work up slowly, the results should be OK.I have the powder from a .338 Lapua project a few years ago. It seems to like to be lite with WLRM primers. When I got this rifle, I was hoping to utilize it. Will do more testing. I think it is a usable powder given the case capacity, and the right weight bullet. AIM SMALL,MISS SMALL:)gun) 7STW [/QUOTE]
