Which powder to get more speed in 7 Mag

[remingtonman_25_06]

H1000 or Retumbo gives good velocity and accuracy in a 7 RM, plus they're very consistent and temp stable. Those are my favorite powders for magnums, for the above reasons. A lot of powders will give good velocity, but are either temp sensitive, or not very consistent lot to lot.

I have had very good luck with RL22 and 26 both provide excellent velocity and accuracy in my rifles. There are urban-legends about RL22 having some temperature velocity swings but finding empirical evidence is difficult. My load in a 300WM has shown about a 55FPS swing in velocity from a 25 degree day to a 95 degree day. Not enough to change anything for hunting purposes.This is my rifle and my magneto speed chronograph; not a scientific or industry report. RL 26 is another beast. It provide amazing velocity and accuracy in my 270s and 300WM, but availability has been the limiting factor.

Don't hesitate to give Enduron 8133 a try. I hear the burn rate is similar to Retumbo.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
