Yes, was thinking about trying RL7 next actually, though I don’t see it around often. A friend that uses it in his .358 also mentioned trouble finding it. I've tried many powders in .222 rifles and most are good for making accurate loads. Reloder 7 is all I use in my .222s now, along with a 50 grain Sierra Blitz or SP. Reloder 7 has been hard to find, but Powder Valley got some in two or three weeks ago. I ordered a keg as soon as I saw it on their website. It may still be in stock.

I'm more of an H fan guess because the "extreme " line came out as such .. but I know imr and many others have caught up per say.
That said I burn more imr 8208 than as ny other powder

when I started reloading I found IMR4350 loads seemed the most common so I felt it a logical starting point. Luckily I got cloverleafs with it in three different rifles. When I expanded things I picked up H4831sc for heavier bullets in my 260 and 270.
After trying multiple other combinations I am going back to my original formulas that includes these two powders and bullets that aren't 'supposed' to shoot well in my rifles.

I prefer the H versions because of the better temperature stability. I'm in Mississippi, it makes a difference with the heat and humidity.

Crow Hunter: have you tested H4198's temp stability or are you just repeating the powders sellers web site dogma?
