Thank you sir, that should get me startedHodgdon has basic data. Different bullet although I’m sure it’s more than a safe place to start. 60,000psi max in a 7 mag is laughable as max IMO.
A single 175 Nosler Partition from my 7mm Rem Mag took a mighty fine bull elk for me quite a few years ago. Muzzle velocity was about 2900 fps via sooty old H870 which is no longer available.
StaBall HD is a fine powder and can produce 2900+ fps from a 175 and the 7mm Rem Mag. I've always liked the 160 - 175 grain bullets for the 7mm Rem Mag, but have been messing with some lighter bullets in recent years, mostly just out of curiosity. Some of the lighter monolithic bullets look pretty doggone good.

Guy, I used that old H870 in 25-06 years ago also. Cheap and shot great. Dan.A single 175 Nosler Partition from my 7mm Rem Mag took a mighty fine bull elk for me quite a few years ago. Muzzle velocity was about 2900 fps via sooty old H870 which is no longer available.

The monolithic copper or copper-alloy bullets are a bit different from our good ol' lead-core jacketed bullets aren't they? Can be challenging to get the same velocity, without excess pressure...A 175 NP at 2,900 seems hard to beat for elk in the 7 MAG. How fast can you push that 160 mono ?
