[QUOTE="dwm, post: 1157547, member: 1136"] I found post on here stating 69.5 grains of H1000 with the 168 Berger Hunting VLD. This load shoots great in my 7Mag. Quickload shows this as being a moderate pressure load, like 54.5Kpsi at 100% load density. From what I have seen using Quickload, most magnums have an accuracy node around 61Kpsi. I am quite sure I could go higher and find a faster accuracy node, it may be hard on brass though. That being said this load is very easy on brass and shoots great, so I am sticking with it. Retumbo is much slower than H1000, so 70grains of Retumbo seems a little light in comparison. (QL says 47Kpsi, you have to go to 73 grains Retumbo to get to 54Kpsi) [/QUOTE]
