If you look at the description in the ad it says, Using the link provided below, this powder burns around the 500 mark.

Looking at the chart there is nothing exact in the '500' line - but Retumbo comes in at 502 and Reloader 26 is 504 so pretty slow stuff!

Whatever is cheapest in the retumbo burn rate would be my guess

Looking at the load data 91gr and 3250fs, I'd guess *MAYBE* RL50 or US869.

NEVERMIND..... i just looked on Nosler's website and they don't list a 162gr BT bullet. But for a 160gr the US869 load data comes closest.

"around 500" could be 5 or 10 rows up or down. It is a ball powder and seems very slow based on the 91gr load weight in 28 Nosler. I am thinking something close to US 869?

Well, thats # 533 on the chart.

Well, thats # 533 on the chart.

My bad, I need to take another look at that chart.

Looks like LTR powder is near 500 and a ball powder.

Looks like LTR powder is near 500

Now maybe research loads for the 28 Nosler and see if there are any using LTR close to the 91 grain charge.

Well there ya have it!

Actually LRT (not LTR as in the chart - minor mistake)

Not exactly apples to apples, I've loaded 162gr bullets in my 7mm mag with something like 75gr of LRT. 91gr in a 7mm of considerable size sounds reasonable to me
