Im loading for a friend, he has an old 7mm Remington mag. I have Rl. 26 and H1000 available, with 160 grain tsx, bullets. Hoping for a quickload to find a perfect load.
Thanks in advance.
 
Used a 24 inch barrel length, if you have any H20, OAL , etc info, I could crunch it further for you.

H-1000 was specifically designed for 1000 yd match shooting with the magnum cartridges. It is temperature stable and gives excellent accuracy in the 7 rem mag. It doesn't yield top velocity compared to Re-26. My 7mm Rem load is 160 Nosler AB and H-1000 and have shot several 1/4" and several smaller three shot groups
 
I've used Rl22 in several 7mm, I agree it's just about perfect. But I'm out. I have a good supply of 1000 and 26, and like both of those equally in my 338 Jarrett. I think I'm just flipping a coin😁
 
H1000 was one of the go-to propellants when loading commercially. It was most dependable in the 7RM, always producing reasonable velocities and fine accuracy in a variety of rifles.
