[QUOTE="Wookie316, post: 316805, member: 18820"] I've used RL19 in the 7mm for years now because I have found it to usually be consistently accurate. I find the FPS is slower than I like though :( With my new 7mm I just got I am finding with a 140gr bullet I am still in that 3000FPS all the way up to 67grs? It is A Sako contour Ted Gaillard 1-9 twist 24 1/4" barrel. What are pet loads & speeds & out of the following powders I have in my cabinet which would be best to try? I was hoping I'd be in the 3100-3200 FPS range with decent accuracy. RL19 is looking like it won't cut it though. Here is what I have for powder RL25, RL22, RL19, H4831SC, IMR7828SC, IMR4831, IMR4350, CCI 250's or 215F are what I have for primers. So far I have not found any real noticeable FPS difference between the two? I'm sure one of those powders would work, but being I am running very close to hunting season & have limited range time I need a good starting point. Fine tuning will have to happen next year I guess. This rifle is for my Dad & the 140's are for deer. Dad is not a real LRS so this will be 400 yard rifle. If it was farther I would step up to the 168gr for sure. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
