Hey guys,

I see that H1000 seems to be the preferred choice when loading for the 130 - 140gr projectiles.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any H1000 at the moment, however I can get Rel 17, Rel 19 and H4350.

Can anyone help me please with suitable starting loads for the above powders?

Many thanks,

Michael.

If it's available there Superformance may be a faster powder but it may give the velocity you want with a lighter charge.

I use Retumbo in mine. Goes real good with 130's and 140's

Hi Mikee,

What is your Retumbo powder charge weight with the 140gr Berger?

Cheers,

Michael.

kiwiwildcat,

According to Hodgdon you can load IMR-7977 for H-1000. They say that the 7977 has all the characteristics of the H-1000 but burns cleaner.

ReLoder19,22,DupontIMR 4350/4831 burn rate powders work well in the 6.5RSAUM pushing heavies(147-155gr)in a 1:8.5" twist Bbl.

Moly'd 140VLD Berger's have been pushed @ 3500fps w/ ease.

61 grains of Reloader 22 makes my 6.5 WSM a very accurate death ray.
