About to start a load work up with 168 bullets. I have H4350, H4831SC, and H1000 on hand. What powder of those work better for a shorter barrel? Thanks for any advice.

Barrel length doesn't matter when it comes to powder, it's bullet weight. It's the same powders that work in a 26" work in a shorter barrel. But less velocity.

H-4831 2765 fps and 93% powder burn
H-4350 2780 fps and 100% powder burn
H-1000 2786 fps and 92% powder burn heavily compressed
Assuming a 10 twist barrel
FYI, a 26" tube will get 2980 fps, and 96% powder burn with H-1000

I'm looking at a similar build but plan to shoot 180gr hybrids. What kind of speeds can I expect? I have the same powders and might be able to get N560 or N565.
Thats perfect. Thank you. Is that from quickload? Never used the software before. Guess I need to look into that.

How did it turn out? I'm going to shoot a 7SAUM tomorrow with a 22 inch barrel. Will be using hunter powder. Since it's a brand new barrel and brass I will be doing a seeping depth test.

Anyone with experience on a 20-22", suppressed, with the 180gr hybrids? I really want to go the 7SAUM route but may have to go the 7PRC to get 2800+.
FWIW:
My older Rem Mod 7 has a 22" and I have a load with Sierra 160 HPBT with Hybrid 100V that moves out @ 2900.
It is a factory barrel and not threaded for suppressor.
I do know these 160 bullets are slippery and quick out of a barrel.
I did try the other loads from the longer barrels in it only once after backing off powder some but had accuracy issues with those powders for some reason.

22" suppressed 180 hybrids. 2830 w N565 and ADG brass. That load and velocity is super easy on brass in my bbl
22" suppressed 7PRC I'm getting @ 2935 fps in RCC brass with the 180's, and that's with H1K.

I'm contemplating a 20" 7 SAUM as well!
