IMR 5010 ever try it?
« on: March 09, 2005, 11:15:00 AM »
I just got 8 pounds of IMR 5010 has anyone here tried it? If so in what? I'm planning one using it in a 7mm rem mag.

I have used H5010 and Surplus Military IMR5010 for my 50BMG. If you use H5010 or Surplus Military IMR5010 you will not have a high velocity in your 7mm rem mag. It takes a lot of 5010 to get the bullet moving fast. When I sold my 50BMG's I had to sell all my H5010 and  Surplus Military IMR5010. I have a 300 Win Mag and a 375 H&H and could not find any load data for them or even anyone that used it in a magnum round, other than the 50 BMG. Just not enough case space for the powder to work efficiently.


ricciardelli, here is one place you gan get Surplus Military IMR 5010
