7MM RUM??

Win staBall HD may be a good choice. It claims the 7rum is ideal for this powder. Haven't tried any yet

I've messed around with 7 rum. I like 7828 with 140 ab. RL25 with 150 partition. And more recently a new load- LRT with 160ab which has better accuracy and higher velocity than retumbo in my rifle. Jesse J posted about LRT in 7 rum which
Is how I learned of it. It can really push a bullet fast if you want to.

Well I may just have to see if I can find some then. Let's say about maybe 8lbs should do it.

Been running mine at 94 gr of retumbo 160 gr accubonds for years , this is still my go to rifle .

Hey Mack, any signs of barrel burning out?

I have 1 LB of RL33. That would make about 16 rounds. I have 8 LBS of 570 but plan to use that on a 7 REM Mag.

You should get over 70 from a full pound.

My 120gr Barnes bullets run 3900 fps from a 26" barrel in a Savage 110. 7828.

I'm a big STW fan, but I also adore my 7mm RUM. This is what I got going on recently, new Bertram brass with 131gr Hammer bullets. Loaded some up with 100.0gr of Retumbo, 0.5" groups running at 3850fps.
