Jim HundleyIMR-7828sc/.300 Win.mag.
Has anybody had experience with this powder?I plan to try it with a .300 Win.mag. and a 168 TSX.My Quick Load predicts a little over 3200 f/s @ 61400 psi.How sensitive is this powder to temperature variations.Please advise.(Barrel is a 25.3" Hart ss and the chamber is cut to minimal SAAMI).
Thanks,
Jim

fredj338I have been using 7828 in my .260, .280 & 7mm Dakota & find it a good fit w/ med. to heavy bullets. I especially like the 7828ssc for the .260, it allows me to get the charge wieghts I want w/o over compression. It seems pretty temp. stable per my Oehler & I've shot my loads from 30-100deg.

krakyI played with it in my 300 wby mag this fall. It got virtually identical speeds as the older long kernal 7828 I had on hand. If you gun likes it the new stuff should be perfect for the win mag as far as better use of the case capacity goes.

buckshotI haven't used the sc/ssc powders, but as for the regular IMR 7828, I like it and have had no bad experiences or pressure peaks whatsoever. In fact, the only bad thing I can say is it's a bitch to run thru my Lyman #55 powder measure.
