I'm interested in any load data for the 7rem and 300win that anyone has worked up with this powder. I have ordered a bit and there really isn't much data out there.
 
I've got that data already... They aren't even showing the 7rem... The lovex data only shows the 173 grain in 7rem.
It is a comparative powder table. Look at the starting points for 7mag in the manuals for H414, Win 760, and Viht N150. Looks to be too fast a powder for these magnums. Hornady manual only has Win 760 listed 7mag with 120gr bullets. Didn't see H414 or N150 in the Hornady manual for anything in 7mag and 300 mag.

I'll just run with 4350 data and start at the bottom. 4350-4831 burn rate powders are plenty slow for mid mags like the 7rem unless heavy bullets are used. I've used I4064 in the 7rem before in a problem rifle that wasn't happy with rl22 and 7828 with 140's. It ran just fine, and it seems to be a bit faster than this stuff. Kinda hoping for real world experience, but that's probably why the stuff is on sale. No one is using it now that the more normal powders are somewhat available again.

I used to use 4064 for years in my 7mag and it loved it. Might even go back to soon
