[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1707981, member: 48043"] hodgdon shows 77 grains at 2758 fps at 56Kpsi for a 7rem running a heavy (175 in their data)... you are going to have a hard time over-pressuring this powder in this cartridge so run it up till you hit compression and try for around 2800 fps over a chrono... all the 50 cal ball powders are slow as dirt and in a mid cartridge can be basically loaded up till you run out of room; in a 270win I load a 130 with 69.5 grains of wc872 (sister powder to 869) and she farts out the 130 at 2700 fps... Great for range practice as it's cheap to shoot; I paid less than 10$ a hundred for the bullets and 50$ a keg for the powder... [/QUOTE]
