I used to use RL22, but switched to IMR7828. It seems more repeatable from lot to lot.

For both 140 gr. & 160 gr. bullets in the 7mm Rem. Mag., I use RL-22.

RL22 and IMR4831... for me

I've found them to work very well in many other cartridges as well, close to interchangable.

Another vote for IMR 4831 and H4831. Works for me.

7828 is hard to beat if you want top velocity and accuracy. RL 25 is also very good. Some of the faster powders will give good accuracy but they won't match the velocity of 7828 & RL25 at safe pressures.

I've been using IMR7828 & RL22 with the 160's. I also found one with H4831sc. My rifle doesn't seem picky.

Has anyone tried Data85??
