I received this in an email last night from loaddata . I have not watched it yet .

Grand is a good one! I've only used a bit of it, but with excellent results.

Yes, I think it would be worth trying.

I've had very good results with it in 150gr 270 win and 160gr 7mm rem mag.

May have to give it a try in my 7mm Rem Mag.

I just loaded up some Grand in my 280AI. I decided to use magnum primers with the ball powder rather than the Fed 210M primers I normally use. We'll see how things work out next week when I get to the club.

Nice, good to know. If you have experience with it, how does it compare to Staball HD? I've had good results with my 7mm rem mag. They're both double based, temp stable with similar burn rates.

I've got StaBall HD on the shelf but I tried Grand first so don't have any comparison in 270 or 7mm. I do have both HD and Grand loaded in 25-06 with 115 Partition for a test run soon.

I have tried Grand in my Tikka 7MM Rem Mag. Grand has gotten my 24 inch barrel to shoot with velocities of a 26 inch barrel and it is has been very accurate in my rifle.

Any chance you can share some data? I'm thinking it should be a good powder for a 26" barrel and ABLR 168's but can't find any published results yet.

 

[Guy Miner]

166 grain rather than 168, but provides an idea of what's possible with a 24" 7mm Rem Mag and Grand:

Cheers. I was looking at that, thinking it could be a starting point. I may load a test ladder today to take to the range this weekend.
