7828 ssc what can i expect

[mtshtr]

just curious about this powder. I will try in 7mm prc with 175 eldx

I haven't loaded bigger calibers yet. 223, 6.5grendel, 6.8 spc, 30-06.


The 7828 was the only magnum powder I saw so I bought a pound.

It will get similar velocities to H1000, but will use lower charges and have lower load densities than H1000, as it is a little faster burning. It is not temp stable, but also isn't terrible from my experience. When I have used it I have always been able to get a good load with it. Overall it should work well in a 7 prc, as I believe it was kind of designed around a 7mm rem mag, and the two are essentially ballistic twins.

It's my go to powder for my 7stw, get good velocity, and little tiny groups @ 100yds. You won't be disappointed with it......

IMR 7828 works great in my 280 AI with 160 grain accubond. I also used it for a straight 280 Remington with 168 Berger down to the 140 grain Berger with good results.

IMR 7828 provided some of the tightest groups in several magnum rifles for me. Book max velocity was attainable. I always wondered why it wasn't more popular on the inter-web.

RE26 stole the thunder for a while but when it disappeared, the ol' reliable IMR 7828 was put right back in service with very good results.

7828 is a great powder! I've used a ton load in my 7 Mashburn Super. Have went thru several barrels mainly using it. You'll get good speeds, along with darn good accuracy if your rig is set up right.

7828 SSC is a very good powder that has given me good speeds and small groups. I even use it in some of my 22/250AI loads with heavies, and it gives some of the fastest speeds and smallest groups with those bullets.

Good performer in 7 Rem Mag, 7 Ultra. Good speed and accuracy with wide nodes. The SSC also throws very well out of a Lyman 55. It easily throws 1/10th light and I trickle up.

Hardly a belted mag around that 7828 does not work well in. It is an older powder that is still around for a reason...it works great.

IMR 7828 worked well, in my 7 mm Rem Mag. with 154 grain Hornady's ( good Velocity and accuracy ).
After selling that Rifle,.. I tried the last couple of, Pounds, in my New ( bought in 2017 ) Tikka T-3, in .270 WSM with, 140 gr. Berger Classic Hunters and am getting 3,185 FPS with, 1.5 inch, 200 yard, 5 shot, groups ( 5/8th's to 3/4 MOA ) and, 3.5 to 5.5 inch groups at, 700 Yards.
I've used this Powder on 2 Elk so far, ( Snowy / Cold, Late Nov / Dec., Hunts ) and IT,.. goes, Bang !
RL-26 is,. slightly Faster but, also,.. UN-obtainum, usually.
IMR 7828, IS, a Proven "Winner" IMO.

0.43" @200 yards with 180TSX in my 300WBY. Funny thing is I bought the 7828 when it first came back (DuPont) and never got around to try it because the IMR4350 worked just fine. I like it, if we ever see primers coming down might try them in other magnums.

 

[Iron Worker]

Its the go-to powder for a 257 WBY Magnum

 

[sp6x6]

I use to crunch it down in my 340WBY

 

[Dean2]

Its the go-to powder for a 257 WBY Magnum

Agreed. Works very well in my 257 Bee.
