I will be teaching a buddy to reload his seven mag. He will be loading 120 grain bullets primarily, along with some 140’s. What powder would you pick if you only bought one pound of powder?

RL 26 has been working well in mine with 150 and 160gr bullets.

H1000 is the easy choice and I've used both 7828 and RL26.

RL-19 first, or RL-22. Both produce good fill capacity and velocity for the lighter bullets.

I grab RL22 first every time.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Good old IMR 4831 has always worked well for me with 145 and 160 grainers.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

7828, re22 are my choices for the light bullets.

I've been playing with Reloader-26,I'd be happy if it was the only powder I had.I was able to easily get around 1\2" groups with it.69.0grs was 3187fps with 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips.70.0grs gave me 3220fps with that same bullet.

Reloader 26 was my best best of getting 3k out of 160s with solid accuracy. The 7mm RM is a great round and the best of the mags imho.

My 7 mag done really well with RL-22 and the 140's and 7828 was my heavier bullet powder. However, the times I did try 7828 with the 140's it shot well. I suspect either powder will 'get 'er done"

Re 22 with 140's and 160's works very well and very accurate.

With that light of bullet, H4831sc.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
