[QUOTE="6.5Swede, post: 1212121, member: 85118"] This has been an interesting thread. I recently worked up a load for a friends new custom 300 Win Mag. He insisted on using 200 gr ELD-X bullets and the 8 lb. jug of IMR-7977 he had acquired. I was a little concerned about the narrow range of options, but was curious about what would happen. My concerns were unfounded. This combinations worked very well, and I was shooting nice 1/2" 3 shot triangles in no time. This powder is also supposed to resist copper fouling. I was shooting a Schneider P5 barrel, and had hardly any fouling issues during break-in. I have no way of knowing if the powder helped, but it didn't hurt anything! This powder is also supposed to be temp insensitive, but I had no way to test that. It is also in the H-1000 and IMR 7828 burn range. For kicks, I also shot some 210 Bergers and Retumbo. That load shot very well. I hope this helps someone. YMMV, Steve [/QUOTE]
