I was having a conversation about buying several pounds of powder on a whim in a thread here a few weeks ago.
So I started messing with a 300 I had in the safe, and I have 8 pounds of 7828 and was wondering if anyone has tried it with heavy bullets, particularly 208 ELD up to 225 grains bullets?
I was just looking at the new 10th edition of the Hornady manual and they are saying IMR 7828 will work for the 200 GR ELD-X. Has anyone loaded this powder with this bullet. I have also heard some type of SSC powder may be better because you can get more in the case to avoid a compressed load. How much better is 7828 over H1000, Since IMR 7828 is recommended in this Hornady suggest that this is the power used by the factory. My goal is only to duplicate their factory load and MV. I just downloaded the Hornady AP on my iPhone and bought the two pages I wanted hopefully to get the data for 308 Winchester using IMR 4064 and 300 WIN MAG using IMR 7828. I paid the $2.00 and I saw the charge come across my Bank. I did not get any e-mail with these two items in .pdf format and when I look in the AP to see unlocked items they are not there neither. Does anyone know where the two paid for items may be found so I can print them?I've used 7828 ssc with great success in the 210 berger VLD...
