[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 991822, member: 44168"] if you wish to have a shelf full of different powders by all means drive yourself nuts. But, for hunting you might want to go with a popular powder for that cal add a good bullet and work up a single load. Example, 7mm rm likes IMR7828, IMR7828ssc, RL22 and RL25. I choose IMR7828, a 150 grn ETIP and CCI mag primer find my max OAL reduce by 30 thou add primer and 61.5 grn powder, then follow the 005thou inc. until I have the best group with that load. Lets say it is 15thou off the groves, I now load 5 x 62.0, 5x 62.5, 5x63.0, ect, up to 67.0 all to 15thou off the groves. Go to the range and shoot some paper. As I progress up in charge I am of course looking for signs of high preasure, there where no signs and 67.0grn shot the best group at 3/4" 5 shot group. The bullets that I loaded had no problem cycleing through the mag or feeding issues, why would I look any further for a 150grn bullet? Now if I was to go to 175 grn bullet I would choose RL22 and repeat the process. By the way the powder load I gave you may or may not be a good load, so if you choose to try this powder and weight confirm it first, I just pulled it out of the air [/QUOTE]
