Imr 7828

[desertcj]

I’ve found 7828ssc to be pretty good. Not worth $50-$60/lb to me personally. Not sure I would pay that price for any IMR powder honestly. Hodgdon does because they can and fortunately for me, I don’t have to pay those prices.

Edit: Yes, H1000 was the one for me that made IMR7828 irrelevant. Today, I would look at Magpro, Grand, Magnum, LRT and Staball HD. H1000 is my ride or die! Superformance is a lot slower than you would think also and I’ve used it where I haven’t seen data. Just started low and worked up!

I've got a couple of pounds of 7828ssc laying around. Yesterday I loaded 4-7PRC cases with 66gr under a Hornady 180 ELD-M bullet. After shooting my established load for the 7PRC, I shot the 7828/180 load. The first 3 bullets landed in .9" at 400yds. But, as luck would have it, the 4th bullet brought the group to 2". I knew I shouldn't have dropped the hammer on that last round.

Happens to me every time I see a group starting to look good and I start thinking I’m going to walk down and take a pic after this last round…..

That's why I'm a big fan of 1 shot groups.

I have had a couple of pounds of imr 7828 forever. Never tried it until this past weekend (bought it for 300 wby I sold before loading) with 150 gr ablr in old 270 win. 3 shots well under moa at 2900 fps out of 22” barrel (using Nosler load data). .591 BC with this bullet. Who needs a PRC. Should have bought more before it got too expensive

7828 and a 270 win and 150gr is magic. 58.5 grs Nosler 150 Partition 2970 fps sub 1/2" groups.

Years ago, when I still owned a 300 Win Mag, I used IMR-7828 with great success using 165 grain bullets.

I know I have some in the ssc, but don't think I have that much

Yea, I found 10 lbs several years ago in a shop that was getting out of the reloading business. It was the "regular" cut but it didn't matter to me. If I remember correctly I paid 12 dollars per lb for it. I'm like you, I'm stocked for the rest of my life.
