Here are a few other powders you might consider.
Code:
Cartridge : 7 mm WSM
Bullet : .284, 150, Hornady ELD-X 2826
Useable Case Capaci: 71.907 grain H2O = 4.669 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.860 inch = 72.64 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63250 psi, or 436 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
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 !
18 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

Thank you sir. It looks like RE26 might Be a good selection for that bullet. I was using H 4831 with good results. The issue is it’s hard to leave well enough alone. Again thank you. One more question, what does the red colored language translate in your replies. That not Cyrillic is it? If so are you Russin. I believe that’s the correct spelling but I’ve been wrong before. Take care

It is a quote from Solon in Classical Greek: "I'm getting older, but I'm always being taught a lot."
American roots going back to at least 1603 for myself and 1709 for my wife--Scots and Welsh heritage beyond that. No Russian of which we are aware, though there is Germanic introduction into the lineage.
