Reloder-22 is my go to powder.I like 67.5grs for 150gr Nosler BT's and 66.0grs with 160gr Nosler Accubonds.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

RL22 has been temp sensitive for me when hunting late seasons in very cold temps. H1000 for 168 Bergers or 180 Scenars. Retumbo for 195 EOL bullets. Those are the only 3 bullets for the 7mm that I shoot anymore.

160s and IMR 4350
175's and RL22
Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?

175 gr Partitions and enough 7828 or RL-22 to run them near 3000 fps in 26" barreled rifles, the 175 gr partition or a-frame are perfect for all things 7mm Rem Mag.

168 vld over 67 H1000 for paper. Don't really have a pet for critters but have had pretty good luck with 150 bt's over IMR 4350. Under 160 grains I've had better accuracy with quicker powders like 4350 burn rates.

Currently, I am shooting Re25 and 168 Bergers.. My favorite load since the 90's has been the 140 grain Nosler BTBT over a heavy charge of Re22. The load came from an Alliant book. It is several grains over the other sources.. But the 140 rubs 3400 fps fom a 26 " barrel.. It has killed everything from rockchucks, coyotes deer, antelope, to moose , caribou and elk..

66grn of R22, R+P or WW cases, Fed 215GMM, and 150NBTs is the load I check first in every 7RM I've loaded for. If it doesn't shoot well, most of the time nothing else does either.
69 grains of H4831 under 140 NABs or NBTs has always been a peach as well. 22 will beat it for speed, but that load always seems to be accurate in 7RMs.

65 grains IMR 4350 with a 140 Nosler partition. The young guys on my deer lease say that 4350 powder is" an old mans powder".

Has anyone compared the new RE series? RE 26 and RE 23 to the RE22 and RE 25?
It looks like an effort to get "better" temperature stability, or separate more money from us.

All that with a single bullet.

retumbo fed 215 with 160gr accubond.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
