[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 746160, member: 9172"] No....don't get me wrong...Retumbo is wonderfull powder...I just think that it is a tad slow for the 7REM.....maybe when the Berger 195 comes out I will change my tune. So are the various 4350's and 4831's...just a tad fast for the 7 when using 168 class bullets. That H1000, and maybe even RL22, is right in the wheelhouse of the 7 with the 168 class pills. Near 100 % load densities and the h1000 is very temp stable. Now, I was told once that there HAS to be something out there better than H1000. Probably is...maybe one guns might like 7828 or rl22 or ...what ever. It took me a while....and I still fight the "infection"...to realize when good enough is good enough. Lets say you acheve a .6 moa load for your factory gun.....I am just throwing numbers up...you pick it if you would like. There very well might be a combo out there that gets you 30% smaller groups. WOW...30 %....that's alot. Yes...in benchrest maybe..but not hunting. that thirty % took you from 6 inch groups at 1000 to 4 inch groups at 1000. H U G E in 1000 BR...meaningless in a hunting situation....instead of missing dead center aim by 2 inches, you missed by 3 inches at 1000....meaningless....and may well take you a few hundred rounds to find. I love trigger time, but sometimes enough is enough. But...like I said....it is an infection. TINKERITCE....and it's all fun!!!! Give H1000 a try...it's a factory gun, so I make no promises, but you should find an accurate, high velocity load for your 7 mag. [/QUOTE]
