Thread: 7mmrm powder?

I tried 2213sc, 2225 and 2217 in mine and settled on 2217. Very consistent, good temperature stability and found a good case fill ratio when using projectiles from 160 to 180 grain bullets.

I used federal brass, CCI 250s and 70.5 grains under 162 ELDX for 3060 fps out of a 24 inch barrel. Could get them quite a bit faster but they performed really well at that charge weight.

2225 (retumbo) is a bit bulkier and 2213sc (h4831sc) is less bulky, 2217 (h1000) was the Goldilocks powder for me. Any of those three will work though, and of course the exotic powders (reloader) if you can find it.
