Wondering if anyone has tested and worked up loads in a 7mm RUM with the 168gr Nosler long range accubonds? I have RETUMBO, H1000 and IMR 7828 on hand would like to use the RETUMBO as I have 8lbs of it.
 
Here's a possibility for you:

Code:
Cartridge          : 7 mm Rem Ultra Mag
Bullet             : .284, 168, Nosler Accubond LR 58623 G7
Useable Case Capaci: 100.878 grain H2O = 6.550 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.600 inch = 91.44 mm
Barrel Length      : 26.0 inch = 660.4 mm
Powder             : Hodgdon Retumbo

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63000 psi, or 434 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

68 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

I only loaded the Barnes 140 TTSX in my former 7mm RUM. I had great results with 7828 but "outstanding" results with Retumbo. I had the same results using Retumbo in two different 300 RUMS. In my opinion, it starts and stops there in the big RUM cases. Good luck to you Pard. Jim
