I'm currently working up a heavy bullet load with IMR-7828.
The first results with the 210 berger VLDs looks promising.

Kimber montana 8400 300wsm,
winchester brass and WLR primers - gonna try some fed 210s
nosler 165gr BLTS with 71gr VV N160 - dont try this load in your rifle as books max is 66.8, work up to this slowly. although im having no pressure problems. Unsure of velocity but 67gr was 3000fps so this may be near 3200FPs

Win M70 Stainless Classic:
Hornady 165 SST 66gr IMR 4350
Barnes 130XLC 66gr IMR 4064

With the 130, I've taken pigs up to 300 pounds. It's my favorite but, no longer made. Gonna have to give the 130TSX'x a try.

I no longer use a chrony. I just watch pressure and accuracy.
