blazn80Reloading 7mm RUM
Anyone reloading the 7mm RUM? I'm just getting started into reloading and was wondering what was the best powder and primers to use. I'm thinking about using Rem 9 1/2M primers with H1000 or maybe Retumbo powder. Any help would be much appreciated.
I'v had the best luck with R25 and H1000.i just picked up some Retumbo but haven't tried it yet.I'd use the Rem 9 1/2 primers but they aren't available here and I refuse to pay the haz-mat fees.Yuo'v probably already found Hodgdons site but heres the link anyway.

blazn80JSR,
Thanks for the info.... was that the 9 1/2 magnums or the regular ones?
Sorry,mean't the 9 1/2 M's.I'm using Federal 215s which work but I would like to try the Rems as a lot of the data employs them.I'll find some at a gun show sooner or later.
