[QUOTE="mhiltz, post: 549359, member: 25532"] Hodgdon claims 13 fps difference in velocity between -40 and 125 degrees farenheit with the US869 and a 50BMG. To the authour of this thread: I would try US869 if you end up with a 7mm RUM. I have tried Retumbo, and H1000 along with many other powders, and when shooting the 180, or 168gr Berger VLD I get the best results with US869. Duplicate these loads: 168gr Berger VLD set at 3.650, 101gr. US869, Fed 215 primer 180gr. Berger VLD set at 3.658, 99.5gr. US869, Fed 215 primer The stated loads are near max psi so work up, but once you're there you will love em. Shoot them @ 500yds and note your group size, then try Retumbo (with charges appropriate for that powder) and watch what happens. Good luck [/QUOTE]
