I have used both powders and prefer the 7625 because it gives a little lower pressures.Both are almost the same but 7625 is a tad slower of the two.Don't get carried away with using too light of a charge,that's where people run into problems.Also,make sure that your load is stuffed tight in the case with a tight crimp.Primers make a big difference with these powders.Going from a Winchester 209 to a Federal 209 gave me a seventy-five fps. difference.I do prefer the Federal primer in the 10ga. loads with 7625.The best way to buy 7625 is in the biggest can you can find.It is more expensive than the more common powders and you use more of it in a given load so your cost per box is more.Good luck and get used to the sulfur like smell that 7625 produces in that cloud of smoke that seems to hang around a while.Charlie.
