With powder being $60+ a pound Whats a good powder and load for the 7mm PRC with a 175 ELDX or 180 Berger? I have on hand some 7977, 8133, RL22 ,RL23. All apparently all unicorn dust now a days. I do not have any H1000
 
Different bullet on the Hodgdon page, but the point is to suggest rough starting loads and a decent powder list.

With the 180s, I got decent results with H4831, but better with H1000 and Retumbo.

Staball HD is good. More velocity than H1000 or N565. N570 appears to be the best for velocity based on GRT.

H1000 and N565 produced very good accuracy for me, but probably 100fps less than Staball HD.
