just bought some nosler partitions in 165 grain. I am going to load these into some .300 Win Mag brass. I will be shooting these rounds from my T/C venture or my Browning A-Bolt III. The T/C has a 24" barrel and the A-Bolt has a 26" barrel. Any load data in put would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of working up a load with a CCI 250 magnum primer with 78.5 grains of IMR-7828 .

Should work, but rl22 will do well if you have some. I'd rather see a 180 over 7828 in a 300 win than a 165 as the load on the powder isn't quite as great with a 165.
I've seen 7828 get squirrely in cold temps if you don't put enough load on the bullet. In my last 7rem 140 grain sierra bullets weren't enough load with 7828, but 150's were. 1/2-2/3 moa no matter the temp with 150 nos bt's, but 140's couldn't fall below 50 degrees without accuracy going to pot. A switch to rl22 or I 4064 stopped the issue with the 140 sierra bullets.
 
I load 165 grain TSX bullets out of my 300 win mag and use 79 grains of Rl 22 and a federal 215 primer. I get about 3250 fps with a 26" barrel.
 
mine does its best with 68 grains of re19 and a 165 using a fed mag match primer. that is with a ballistic tip though
