I am looking for a load for the 7MM mag. This is with a 135 Gr cast and WC870 or the powder's close to it,such as AA8700 or H-870. I would like it to be around 1900 FPS. Thanks in advance.

I took a look in Lyman's 3rd and 4th cast and didn't find anything... not that I expected to. Slow powders and light boolits are a recipe for erratic velocity. On top of that, lighter loads of ball powders can be a recipe for SEE (detonation).

Is this request because of the current scarcity of more suitable powders at the moment? Maybe you can list any other available powders.

I looked in lots of books and found nothing. I can find faster loads for jacketed, but nothing for around 1900 FPS in the 7mm Rem Mag. I just thought that maybe someone else may have tried it. I can do it on my own, but would have been nice to have a starting point. I have found loads for most of the rounds I load for with cast and WC870. Anything from 243 up to 45-70. The powder is a little dirty but you can't beat the price.
