Is Rloader 7 the same as RX7?

[LawrenceN]

I've started reloading for my 7.62 X 39. I'm using the Hornady 123 GR. Interlock bullets on new Prvi brass with CCi primers. My problem is the shortage of powders for that load. I have the H335, but I'd like to try some IMR 4198 or Reloader 7. Budget Shooter Supply (whom I love dealing with) has both of those in stock according to their web site. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Reloder 7 and RX 7 are the same powder, just different ways of designating it.

I use 24gr.Win 748/123gr bullet and 21gr/IMR4198/150gr Sierra .311bullet. Hornady has data for all the above if needed? Harold

Thanks Dave. I kind of thought so, but I wanted to be sure.

Thank you for that information Harold. Unfortunately, we can't find .311 150 gr. bullets hereabouts and IMR4198 isn't too plentiful either. As I have lots of surplus ammo for "bang bang" shooting, I am looking for soft point hunting ammo. I have some commercial Prvi Partisan and Sellier & Bellot, but I like tuning up my rifles for my own handloads. I have both Sierra and Hornady 123gr. soft point which I'm working up loads for. I have H335 as the only powder I could find locally for the 7.62 X 39. I'll look around at the Orangeville gun show to see what I may be able to pick up.
