Looking for 7mm load date for 162gr sst

[sanjuankelso]

I've been shooting Hornady superformance 162 gr sst's which aren't currently in production. I can get the bullets and am thinking of H1000 powder as the superformance powder for that load isn't available either. remington 700 action (no length issues), 26" barrel, hoping to get 3000 fps. Open to recipes, advice on primers (mag or not), etc. etc. Thanks.

My book shows a max load of 73.5 gr of Retumbo with 2,963 fps MV with a 162 gr HDY SPBT.

H1000 at 70 gr is listed at 2905 fps.

Supreme 780 and Hybrid 100V both show a little higher velocity than H1000, but not as high as Retumbo.  (My book doesn't list what length the test barrel was).

You might be stuck with whatever powder is available?  I don't know.  I haven't had any luck finding H1000.  I haven't looked lately, just kind of gave up after checking a few times.

Retumbo is great powder.
