7x30 Waters ??????????

375H&H

I'm getting ready to load some 120gr spire point bullets for my 14" thompson Contender , anyone know what a good powder would be to use ?

Here's my article on it. http://www.reloadingroom.com/index_files/7-30.htm I hope it helps.

For full-power loads, I like the medium burners in the 4895, RL-15, Varget, 4320 general area. Most ball powders will give you serious muzzle flash/blast in such a short barrel.

Try W 748. I have had good luck with it in my Contenders in that caliber.

Thanks for the info , and thanks to rocky for a good read on the 7x30 waters .

The Speer #12 book has loads for the 7X30 Waters.
I use a contender for silhouette with 139 or 140 grain bullets. I use 32 grains of VhitaVouri Oy powder N-135 and large rifle primers. It works.
