AA7 powder mistaken for Rel 7 results in KaBoooooM

RX-7 is the incorrect label used to describe Reloder 7, .... not sure where the RX prefix came from.

If you look at the label on a modern can of Reloder7, Or ANY of the 'RelodeR" labels.
You will notice that the capital 'R's at the beginning and end of RelodeR have small slash marks on the extended right leg of each 'R'

The same symbol a pharmacy uses to mean a prescription.
See Here

As there is no character in our common character set to display this symbol on a computer as text, so - 'Rx' is as close as you can get.
So Rx7 IS the correct abbreviation - with the meaning of "Recipe #7"

For myself, I use 'RL7' as the symbol, Wrong, yes but nobody has Not known what I meant yet.

dang it I need to get rid of those 15-30 reloading manuals I have and just wing it and hope I got the right amount and powder before going shooting.
See you guys are a great source of help to a re-loader, look at all the money I can now spend on bullets, and powder and hospital bills or maybe a funeral.

Re7, AA7, Rx7, RL7...

perhaps I should just mix 'em all together and treat it like 4227? now, would that be H, or IMR?
