| I have both of those 2 cartridges and would advise you to look up data for the 7 Practical to use for the Mashburn. On average my loads for it are a good 6-10 grains less than I use in the 28 Nosler. It performs better with powders I’ve found too slow for the Mashburn. The Mashburn does very well with H1000, Retumbo and Ramshot Grand. Great cartridge overall, my favorite 7mm chambering. |

| John Thank You for your comments but I feel I have to comment back. I have checked several sites and they all list the 28 Nosler as holding 91-93 grs of H2O depending on the make of the brass.300 Win brass is listed as holding 91-94 grs of H2O again depending on brand. Several places list 7mm Mashburn as having approx 90 grs capacity in fireformed cases. The powders I wanted to try were mainly StaBall HD and Grand. Data for the Mashburn or the Practical was not availible anywhere I looked. In my first post I never suggested that I was going to use 28 Nosler data in my Mashburn. Since the Nosler holds 4-5 grs more water than the Mashburn case I used the Nosler start load minus 5 grs and worked up from there. I found StaBall HD to very good with 175 gr bullets in my Mashburn. I found similar results with Grand powder. If you are loading 10 grs MORE powder in your 28 Nosler than you do in your 7 Mashburn I'm thinking your Mashburn must be lightly loaded or you really have your Nosler stoked |
