[QUOTE="jdinny, post: 191502, member: 875"] honestly as far as powder bullet combo there no one magically combo. are thinking of running a smaller gr 140ish bullet or rev it up to the heavier stuff that the mag can handle? 160-170 if your going on a heavier side of things you want a slower burning powder. I would suggest retumbo. I don't have suggestions for the lighter stuff I as I shoot the 175gr bergers from mine another thing you need to consider is what are you shooting and when. if you plan to use it for everything which it certainly is capable of from antelope to moose and elk yo need a temperature stable poweder meaning it burns the same regardless if its 15 or 84 out. temp insensitive powders will vary as much as 120-200fps when chrono at extremes. FWIW buddy just double lunged a cow elk at 162.9 yards this wknd with a 139 gr hornady sst from his 7mm and it didn't go but 80 yards and piled up. shoot that your gun tells you not what internet experts do..... hogdon is noted for its temp stability [/QUOTE]
