LT-30 and LT-32 powder recommendation 7mm BR

I need load recommendations using LT-30 or LT-32 used in my 7MM BR.. I have used H-4895, H4198 and IMR8208xbr CFE 223 ... all these powders worked rather well,, depending on the weight of the bullet was the determinant choice....but the common denominator is that velocity was not where I wanted it to be... Now I do have to be fair all of my velocities were Quick Load calculations...as I dont have a chrongraph yet to verify... I have to say this 7MM BR build has been a
blast to work with and developing loads with Zero333 help has been a joy to work with.. this cartridge is very accurate and I did learn that best accuracy happens with factory cases with my converted cases coming in second after a third firing being the best.. so thats why I am asking about LT-30 and LT-32 cause of some research the 30BR guys seem to hang their hat on it.. so it seems to reason the 7MM BR should benefit as well

I would say the 30BR guys hang their hat on H4198.
 
In my 7BR I use Benchmark with 130's and N550 with 168's. Both loads are hammers. IIRC I'm at 32gr on the 168 load and 30gr on the 130 load. All my brass is factory 7BR brass with small primers. I haven't found the end of case life yet. My 130's ran about 2560fps, my 168's ran 2250fps.
