[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 62339, member: 10"] XP, I have developed loads for the 7mm WSM with traditional bullet weights and H-4831 worked very well with the lighter bullets but H-1000 worked better with the heavier 150 to 150 class. For the 180 gr bullets, I would give either H-1000 or Retumbo a try. Two other powder I would look at would be the new AA Mag Pro and Ram shots Magnum powders. These are both ball powders and are much more stabile then old ball powders in varying temps. In fact, Ramshot Magnum is very similiar to the Hodgdon Extreme powders in temp change resistance and has a burn rate similar to Retumbo. The ball powder burns much cooler then any stock powder and will allow a more consistant case fill in this short case. I would try in this order: 1. Retumbo 2. H-1000 3. RS Magnum 4. AAMagPro Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
