Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Hodgdons US 869 in 7mm RM.... anyone??

Well, somehow I ended up with a pound of US 869....

This stuff worth burn'n threw a 7mm rem mag??

Does anybody burn US 869 in there 7mm rem mag with the heavier bullets??

Burn rate is about the same as H870 or AA8700. You should be able to find some data. Lyman list it with 168 and 175.

For 175 US868 start load 75 gr. Max load 79 gr.

Been meaning to try it with 175s in my 7mm mag

Thanks fellas....

I looked at hodgdon's web site and found some data. Just seems that no body uses the stuff, just dont readily here about its use like other powders.

Getting busy around here, but I Should have some time soon to try a few loads with us869 and 160 or 175 grainers
