I would imagine it is a proprietary blend.
If you are talking 7mm REM mag look at Retumbo, h1000 or some of the other slow burning powders.

You can pull the bullet and weigh the powder. By knowing this, you can inspect the powder type (extruded or ball), and the charge weight with the bullet weight will get you in the burn rate area and allow you to guess at what powder they use. But if it shoots good now, it will shoot even better with your ammo with the right powder charge.
