7mm rem mag H1000 vs re26

[rockwind1]

with my 6.5 saums, when i switched from h1000 to re26, i was able to get significantly more MV before seeing pressure signs. i am currently using h1000 (since i had a bunch) in my 7 rem mag and i think i will stay around 2975 fps with 180 berger hybrids out of my 25" lilja,, i started seeing pressure at about 2990. has anyone seen a safe increase MV after switching to re26 in their 7 mag?

I can get about another 40-50 fps out of my 6.5 pcr in line with your 6.5saum experience.
I bet you would get a similar increase in your 7mm Rmag. The only way to know for sure is to load some up and test them in your rifle. Many target shooters think the RL26 runs hotter and is harder on barrels. That will mean nothing for a hunting rifle but could be a consideration if you are a target shooter.
