Ramshot Big Game?

[FOTIS]

Just tried it in my 7mm-08 this weekend

Seems to be working well.

I guess I never came back to my own thread after I worked up a load. This is the result I got with BG and the 150gr Hornady SST in my Mannlicher-Schoenhauer 30-06. That's three shots touching, with the fourth as a flyer.

These loads with Big Game sure are looking good with excellent results. And the price is pretty good too.

When I had a Ruger 77 Mk II in 30-06 I had a great load with Big Game and the 150 gr E Tip. Had excellent results as well in a 303 British, 358 Norma, and heavy bullets in 35 Whelen. It's a good powder that does well in a lot of different applications.

This was a quickie load development. Just ran up a ladder until I found a flat spot and loaded 4 in the middle of the flat spot. 46.7 grain @ 2755 fps with the 150 scenar. About 15 shots total and under MOA. Could probably close that group up significantly and bump the speed up with further development.

Looks like a lot of great Big Game results

Thirty years of reloading and I still have never tried RamShot. I need to make some room for some.

That you do! Some fine propellants bear the name RamShot.

Took me a while to learn that myself.

question for all who use it...... the description on the container sings praises for the .30-06, does it ?

For lighter bullets in 150 grain range otherwise you want hunter for 180 grain

Hunter doesn’t do much more velocity wise than big game for 180’s. What’s the advantage of Hunter ?

I use Big Game with the 165 gr bullets, and it does well in my Rem 700 30-06. I'm satisfied with the velocity and group size, Dan.

I have 2 lbs of it sitting here on standby. I haven't found it to be standout in what I've tried so far, but that doesn't mean I dislike it. It certainly has its uses and is cheap enough. I wouldn't trade IMR 4350 for it, or H4895, but if push came to shove I'd get along just fine with it.
