RL-22, save your H1000 for a 175 load. IMHO

I would agree with yotesmoker, the best results I've had with H-1000 was yesterday with 168grn VLD's out of a 26in .300RUM
Skeeter,
RL22 is an excellent powder for the 7mm Rem. Mag. 3/4" groups were common. I live in Central Oregon and often the temperature during hunting season is below freezing and stays in that area for several months. I stick with the extreme powders to reduce the temperature effect.
On 10/21/06 at 30 degrees I tested H1000 loads in two different Browning bolt action rifles. The best group in my rifle was .156" for three shots at 100 yards. I did not have a chronograph at the time. The load was 72.5 grains H1000, once fired R-P brass, Fed. 215 magnum primers, and the 160 grain Nosler AccuBond. Later that week both my son and I had one shot kills on 6X6 bull elk.
On 3/4/07 I had the opportunity to chronograph the load. The three shot group at 37 degrees was well under 1/2" at 100 yards. The speeds were:
#1 3084 FPS
#2 3074 FPS
#3 3072 FPS
Flat, fast aned no pressure signs. Please use caution, but don't overlook H1000. Try H4831SC also. It was second in my range sessions followed by RL22.

My recipe for my Ruger 24" is 61.0 Gr of IMR4831 with a 150 Gr Ballistic Tip 1/2 in groups at 100yds.
