I have found RL22 works well w/ bullets from 140-160. You could also try IMR7828, very similar.

Hello R

I've gotten very fond of IMR-7828 lately, have also used H-4831 for 20 years with no complaints.

Quick question?

Of those who don't mention Re-22,as a 7mmmag favorite. How many have ACTUALLY tried it and found disfavor? How many tried it and found something "better"?

Just curious...............

H4831; R-22; H1000; IMR 7828 in that order.

Accurate 3100 provides the best accuracy up to 160 grains, but velocities are lower.

That 3031 etc is way to fast burning for the 7 mag.

Use 4831,7828, Rel 22 or Rel 25 and you will get much better results.

In my M70, I get the best combo of velocity and accuracy from IMR7828 with 140 and 150 gr bullets. I have not tried heavier ones yet with this powder, but it works better than anything else I have tried so far. I have used H1000 (very accurate, but too slow) H4831, RL22, IMR4831, IMR4350, H4350, H870.

Gentlemen,

I have used a lot of Reloader 22. I have found it to be very very accurate with both Nosler and Hornady 175 gr. The problem has been that the velocity has not been near the advertised velocities for this powder. That being said, it has still killed a lot of game all over the world for me.

I have switched to IMR-7828, and it produces fantastic velocities and great accuracy. I can achieve the 3000 fps with 175 gr. easily with it, with no pressure signs being shown. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone else, unless you have safely worked up to it.

I hope that helps a little.

Reloader 19 and 22 have given me great accuracy and velocity with the 7mm mag.
