powder ?

[william martin]

im just getn started in reloading and pretty set on useing the sst bullets
95g 243
117g 25-06
162g im 7mm mag
question is is there a single powder that would work good in all I understand there is no magic powder but just hopen something would do well in all just let me know thanks

IMR 4350 IMR 4831 RL 19 RL22 would work in all three but to get max/best from all you may have to try different powders or settle for less than best in one,

For me IMR4350 and H4350 are working great for accuracy and acceptable FPS in 243 win and 7mm-08 rem. Reloading books show good velocity in 25-06 but I do not load that caliber.
Took a buck with Hornady 162 SST in 7mm today and very pleased with bullet performance. Opened quickly but left 1 1/2" exit hole. Made mush of lungs but minimal meat damaged.
I also use H4350 for 7mm-08 using 139 gr Hornady SP. Good accuracy and velocity but not as large an exit.

RL17

 

[william martin]

the main one i want to preform the best would be the 25-06

Check out Hybrid 100V also. Best i can remember, it should give you excellent velocity in the cartridges you listed.

Anyone use Varget?

Anyone use Varget?

Varget is great in a wide range of case capacities, including .223 with heavy bullets, .308 and .30-06 based cases, and the like, but I think it would be a little fast to be ideal for magnum casings

Your rifle will tell you which powder(s) work best. Here is my list:
22-250 60 gr partition RL 15 Superformance is also good Browning Abolt
243 95 gr partition RL19 Rem 700
280 140 gr Accubond IMR4350 T/C Venture
30/06 150 gr partition IMR4350 Browning ABolt
300 WinMag 180 gr parttition IMR7828 (not ssc) Browning ABolt

All primers except 300 are Fed 210M, 300 is 215M. Most Brass is R-P.

All except 22-250 are loaded 005-007 off lands. Yes, some are too long for magazine. Load one into chamber, another into magazine, that's it.

Cool. That's what I plan to use it for.
