If you had to choose RL 7 or RL 10x for target loads which one would use and why. This is for a 16" barrel. I have been using H322 with good results but read that either of these powders was a better choice.

They are both good, but RE7 should be a little bit better.

for accuracy try 29-29.8gr RE7 and pick the one that shoots best.
If you want all out vel. 30.8gr of 10X gave me 3158fps from a 20", that is a compressed load and may need a drop tube to get it all in there.

When C says compressed he is not kidding I think you will get all you need from Rel 7 now if the 10x was denser say like a ball than it would be hands down the best powder. If you plan to try and find one powder for all bullets and plan to load 100s than 10x is probably the best pick. Their load of rel 7 C recommended is a load he developed that has shown to be universally accurate is every barrel it has been used is so far. Not a 100% sure thing but its has a very good track record.
