Re: 7mm RM-162sst --h1000

I would try H4831SC. I have a 7mag and use h-1000 powder. After 68 grains I see no gain in velocity and get extremely bad powder fouling which tell sme a 24 inch tube is too short and I am not getting complete powder burn. My load is 67.6 grains and shoots 2890. I could get 3050 with the 4831 sc out of the same barrel.
