I just would like opinions.. an to see if anyone else has or had tried this option.. just to reduce different types of powders.. I kinda looked around already my self.. Imr 4350, Retumbo an Hybrid V100 is close race
I am currently trying Retumbo in my 7mm wsm only 2 loads in but it's looking sweet on accuracy 69.5 was about 1 1/2 5 shot group an 69 grains was tad under a inch with the 168VLD
Top left bullet was me... an I think if the factory trigger wasn't 5 lbs the left to right would clean up
Reloader 23 for all of them
I'm going to be different. Instead of recommending a powder, I'm going to explain how I would decide what to use. I think it would be more useful to you in the future and the group as a whole. First off, you want to use Hodgdon's Extreme powders. I would add the IMR Enduron line to the list. Different tech, same results, often easier to find. First I would go to Nosler's website or manual because they list fill rates. Look up each combo you are wanting and make a list of extreme and enduron powders that have a fill rate of 90% or more with maximum loads. See if 2 cover it. If not, see if one of your 2 have a slightly lower fill rate. If so you will need to look at a lighter bullet. Now look at the velocities of the powders you have narrowed it down to. If the velocity is acceptable you are GTG. If it is too low, look at the fill rate. If it is low, look at a lighter bullet. If it is high look at a heavier bullet. Once you understand these relationships, it is pretty easy to pick a powder that will perform well in your rifle.
H1000 and H1000 for me.
