No Retumbo or H1000 any options?

[MOOSE39465]

I actually came across some retumbo 1 pounders sitting on a shelf in a gunstore near Augusta Maine. I was surprised to see it.

I was surprised to find some myself.

RL23

What said, RL23

IMR 7977 or better yet 8133 my 28 Nosler loves both of them

Be careful with RL26...It spikes real fast with zero warning. H4831 or RL23 will also work if you cant find H1000/Retumbo for a good stability. I still personally tend to stick with Hodgon powders...View attachment 208038

RL 23 will do the same thing. Ask me how I know LOL

I can't find min and max charge weights for RL23. Do you have any info on that? Thanks

All I have is some suggested loads from a gunsmith and I ruined a bunch of expensive brass for a 280 AI messing with it. I have almost a full bottle of it and would give it away to someone local if they want it Im snake bit on it. I started at 57.0 grains. 58.6 was blowing primers out in my 280 AI with 162 ELDX bullets

What is another extreme powder option for 7mm Rem Mag? Components I'm using is 168 Berger hunter, Nosler Brass, and CCI 250 primers. I'm not a fan of Reloader 22 due to pressure spike in hot temperatures.

My 7mag likes H 4831, my gun didnt like it but a lot of people say theirs does. I'm a retumbo fan. I want to try H1000 eventually.

Midway USA has VV 565 in stock. Its a sweet replacement for H1000. Better get it fast though.

 

[twister]

midway just got 565 and 570 should help you

Thanks everyone for the help

In my 26" barrel I have right at a 3000fps average with SD of 6 with H4831 with 168g SMK's if that helps any. Just noticed you asked that early on and nobody really said about velocities with this powder.
