I bought some more bullets and scraped my powder to get a few more loads. I got up to 67 grains at 2980 with no pressure so I will likely stick with 7828 for now as long as I can source a couple pounds to keep playing

I have the Sierra data and I'm not a berger fan although it's just opinion as I dont have personel experience. Just found out from my local gunshop that IMR 7828 is being discontinued so I guess I will be finding a new powder either way

I'm not disputing the accuracy by any means but my 06 will shoot 2750 with 180 gr eldx st 3/4 MOA The eldx has a better bc better muzzle velocity and acceptable to me accuracy. My "problem" is that makes my 7 mag at current velocity obsolete. What's the point of burning 8 more grains of powder?

I appreciate all the feedback. For anbody that has run 7977 or other enduron powders do you actually see a decrease in the copper fouling

At 69.5 of Retumbo is that being compressed?

So I bought a magneto speed sporter and finally got to play today. I have an accurate load for my 7 mm RM with 160 gr Sierra but I knew it was slow with only 60.5 of 7828 behind it. I calculated it at 2700 fps with drop data and the new toy confirmed 2681 avg with an sd of 9. It shoots great but...

I just recently started reloading and my dads old .243 was my test rifle. It shot everything about 1.5 to 2 MOA prior to hand loads. It is an old Savage 110E. I did bed the recoil lug and cleaned the hell out of it prior to loading. I have run only H4350 with 100 grain Hornady BTSP. Started...

So I have a Savage Model 11 in 30-06 Trophy Hunter XP. It has the factory plastic stock (not accustock). I want to put it in a B & C sporter but have to wait until others in my family understand the need for a stock. I just started reloading and want another caliber to play with but as this...
