[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1287152, member: 9551"] I am just starting to reload for a 7mm Remington Mag after not having one for 25 years. I will follow your exploits with interest. I was around when the late Bruce Hodgdon brought out H-1000. By personal communication, H-1000 was designed to provide the best powder for 160 gr bullets in the 7mm Remington Rem Mag. The original Hodgdon data was hot for what was shipped leading to that conversation. I settled on 68.0gr with 160 Partitions. The game bullet of that day. It was the best we could get to make the 7mm Remington Mag elk medicine. Several shooters and rifles were involved with this development. IMR-7977 was designed to parallel H-1000. General Dynamics bought the old CIL plant and rebuilt it from the ground up (the original Canadian Industries Limited dates to the Canadian entry into WWI and their need to provide for their troops in the trenches of Europe several years before the Yanks). Of course General Dynamics built a new plant with "state of the art" ideas and should be the equal of the powder produced by the Australian factory which is owned by a French investment group.
