[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2949166, member: 12282"] Note that I am less interested in speed (but that's never a bad thing!). I have a 26' proof carbon barrel on my Savage LA. Shoots the 195 Berger EOLs decent with H1000, low ES, but velocity is not good enough and just average accuracy around 1 MOA -- much better some days. Could be the nut behind the trigger...... Most loads are quite acceptable, hardly any over 1" at 100 yards, even between nodes. But that's not 1000 yard [B]ANIMAL [/B]accuracy, so have decided to re-examine my options. A faster bullet is better at shorter ranges. I am not going to use the 195 EOL in a meaningful way, I think, because I am just not good enough as a shooter for those longer ranges on live game. To take them ethically at least.. I have decided to blow things up and try a different bullet. I have in decent quantities in no particular order 1) Ramshot Magnum 2) Norma MRP 3)H-1000 4)H4831 SC 5) RL-26 6) N570 7)StaBALL HD (unopened jug) 8) Retumbo (3 lbs only). More of the other stuff. So I have pretty much all the usual suspects except rl-33. Have given up on that one being available. I am sure that someone will suggest RL-26. But its not as temp stable as the H4831, H1000 or Retumbo I have read. Accuracy and temp stability are key. I have also H4350 and a host of other faster stuff, but with the relatively heavy 175, I am not wanting to try them. There are a ton of threads about the "best powder for 7 Rem Mag". I hope I have made my situation clear, but at the same time, I don't mind a little discussion. Thanks in advance..... [/QUOTE]
