[QUOTE="dwm, post: 52945, member: 1136"] I bought a one pound can of H50BMG and worked up a load with it. The results I was seeing were as good as I was getting with WC872 at the time. I did run out quite fast because of the shear amount of H50BMG that is required to get a 7MM RUM fired up. I liked it because it burned real slow and I could run up the velocity without much pressure at all. I bought an 8 pounder of WC872 because of the high recomendations it gets on this forum and because it is cheap. It is quite amazing with a long barrel. I am uncertain what to think of it because I am shooting in warm to very hot weather and WC872 has been reported to not perform well under those conditions. Went back to Retumbo as this has about the right density and burn rate that I am looking for. Retumbo is much easier to get into pressure problems with. Maybe it is the cheap Remington brass that is the problem, too soft .......? Am going to try RL25 also this spring. It is close in burn rate to Retumbo. I am not as serous as others on this site, mainly just experimenting in high velocity 7mm projectiles. I like to try different stuff. So far I have not been able to find a combination that just clicks with the 7mm RUM. It could be me or my setup also. I need a different stock that has a much more repeatable return to battery. Maybe a nice benchrest stock for the REM700 LA. I am done rambling ... [/QUOTE]
