 My .270 rem 7400 semi-auto was jamming with H-1000.I switched to IMR-4350 and the rifle operates like new. | ||

 I've had them in 30-06 and in .280, never jammed, but could be hard to find an accurate load. | |||

 For some reason, this is the first time in about a week that I could get in to reply to this post. I have a Rem 742 (which preceeded the 7400 by twenty years or more. I also reloaded for the 742's belonging to others. It is mentioned in some of the loading manuals, I know, but don't remember which ones. Namely; don't use such slow burning powder in these rifles as you will do damage over time. I ended up with IMR-4064, got good accuracy and no problems. Prior to that I ended up sending the rifle back to Remington twice and the second time I had a new receiver to fix the problems. I believe, while your new load is functioning, that it is too slow a powder for this action design.    | |||

 On a trip to Canada two hunters both had the magazines fall out of their Remington autoloaders into the snow. One of the incidents resulted in a lost animal. | |||

 Some years ago I had one of these in 30/06. With factory loads or factory equivalent reloads it jammed occasionally, and grouped around 2.5 moa. When loaded down to .308 levels, it functioned 100% and would put most loads in 1.5 moa. I don't recall the powder I used, but would guess it was IMR 4895. | |||

 Had one. 4350 is may all time favourite in the 06. BUT NOT IN THE 7400! Use 4064, 2520, 4895, you get the idea. Look up ( Hornady ) loads for semi autos. Do as I eventually did: sell that junk! Sorry, but thats my opinion, and I did everything to get it right: tried all mags, loaded myself, fiddled with the forearm screw... By a Mauser 98, Win 70, train to work the bolt swiftly and correct ... My 0.02 Hermann | |||
