I have a friend that found out I reload and he bought a bunch of powder. I was originally going to reload his .243 for him so he bought 8lbs of it. Has anyone ever used this power in a 7mm? If so is it ok, descent, horrible etc etc.

Retumbo is the best I have found for the 7mm RM..
just my opinion.... they seem to like the slower stuff lots better !

Yeah I suggested h1000 but the guy just bought all that powder and he doesnt want to buy any other.

Re: 7mm and h4831????
Yes, that powder will work (I'm assumming we're talking 7RM). Use Hodgdon's online data and work up a good load. Like stated, it's probably not the most optimum powder for top velocity, but H4831 will work fine.

Re: 7mm and h4831????
One of my lyman books recommends h-4831 for the 7mm Remington Magnum using a 168gr HPBT load as a preferred load for accuracy, 59.0-65.0(being max) for that load.
Looking across the pages it seems every cartridge in the .284 diameter has some charge listed for H-4831, or IMR-4831. While it might not be the best suited for a case like the RUM, or WSM...it still fits the bill.

It will work and is still one of the "extreme" powders. So, great stability and will get the job done. Heck, 4831SC runs awesome in my 338LM

Its a 7mmRM. I have h1000 and I am going to try a few others for my 7mmRM but my bullet selection and purpose is way different than his. His is just to save some money, mine is to start working my way out to shooting a mile or so.

I've been using H4831 to load 7 Rem Mag for 10 years and it's worked well for me. There's an antelope that's in my freezer right now thanks to the combo of H4831 and 140 gr TSX.
