7mm STW Powder?

[Coloradotank]

Hello,

I was hoping to get some feedback on what powders you STW shooters are using. I am loading 160 grain Accubonds with US 869 powder. I want to switch to BMG 50 or Retumbo and was wondering what velocities you are getting? Thanks in advance!

Reloader-22 is another good powder for the 7STW.I'm shooting 77.0grs with a 160 Accubond @ just under 3200fps.

Retumbo. Vit N570 are really good High Performance stable choices.
