IMR 7977 powder

[Yoda]

Has anyone played around at all this the new powder with the 25-06 or 7mm Remington Mag ?
About the only loading data I can find for it is on the Hodgdon reloading page, and it shows a pretty good bump in speed with a 100gr bullet for the 25-06 over the IMR 4831 (which is my go to powder in my 25-06) .. how about nosler and the 110 AccuBond ? or the Barnes 100gr ttsx ? I walk into a shop yesterday and they where FAT with rifle powder, something I haven't seen in a while.. anyways I picked up a pound pf the IMR 7977 and looking for some input ..

You have the opportunity to be one of the first along the path. Let us know what this powder does for you in these cartridges.

I'll be playing with 4451 shortly.

Not the answer you are looking for but did finally get a chance to play with IMR new 4166 with the 22/250 and am very pleased with it. If 4451 and 7977 Are as good as 4166 I'm sure they will become mainstay on my reloading bench.

Looking at Hodgdon's data I really want to try it with 150's and 160's in the 270 Win, looks to be a top choice for both of those. Not bad in the 260 and 6.5x55 either, probably will be good in the 264 WM but no data listed yet for it.
