Another powder question

hbhobby · December 8, 2013, 08:23 PM

I have always used and loved IMR 4350 for my 7 mm Rem Mag. But with powder availability being what it currently is i cannot find any. What other powders do you all ues for the 7 mm Rem Mag that you like and can get?

I used to load for 7 mag. Reloder 22 gave me about the same speeds and accuracy as IMR4350. I found Reloder 25 to give me much better speeds and equal accuracy.

I'm sure there are other acceptable powders, but those are the ones I used.

No worries about getting I already have. IMR 4831. I always buy in bulk. Have close to 8-lbs here yet I purchased 4 years ago. So I'm in pretty good shape (powder wise) Consider doing the same when given the chance hbhobby. I don't have a 7-Mag but occasionally I reload that cartridge for a close friend using 4831. But I do use 4831 in my 25-06 also. A very good powder for either Cartridge. Good luck with your quest Sir.

IMR7828, this is the powder Remington used to develope the original loadings for the 7mm Remington magnum, I had outstanding accuracy with this powder! William
