IMR 7828 and the 300 mag ??? any good

[chola]

Anyone use this particular powder in a 300 win mag....I have some 180gr Nosler Partitions and CT's and bunch of this powder on hand...also have H4831sc as well,not very much though....was just curious as to what you 300 mag shooters thought..the rifle is a Tikka T3 with a 1 in 11 twist I believe..it seems to be the recommended powder in that little IMR powder manual that I got sent to me...thanks

Should be a good choice, especially with heavier bullets. My all-time favourite was H870, which was discontinued years ago. I'm looking forward to trying US 869 as a replacement

my favorite load was 72 to 74 grns of imr 4350 fed 215 primers and 180 nozler partition. load worked well with almost any 180 grn bullet.

My best load with 180 gr Noslers and 7828 was 78 gr, this is MAX, but yields 3050 f/s out of my pre 64 Win. a very nice big game loading

IMR-7828 From 64.2 grains to 79.0 grains
Winchester WLR Primer

But I preferred:
WMR From 61.3 grains to 75.8 grains
Winchester WLR Primer

It should work well in this calibre although I haven't tried it in any of mine. I have used it in my .300 Wby Mag and my .264 Win Mag with great results.

7828 is a good choice in many large capacity small bore cartridges

25-06, 6.5x55, 270, 7mm Mag, 300 Mags etc

give it a try!

75 grains of Reloader 22 and 180 partion should give you over 3100 fps.
