Anyone using this powder? With 7828 discontinued and my dwindling stocks of RL26, I'm thinking about giving this a try with 160 Accubonds. Anyone have any experience? I also have Grand, H1000 and RL25.

I would think H1000 and then Grand.

RL25 is my go-to when other powders like Retumbo dried up, but since I was able to stock up on Retumbo, I have no need for anything else.
Retumbo is great in the 7STW, as is H50BMG with 180/195's.

Cheers.

The 160gr Accubonds are the bees' knees in my STW. I load them with H1000 to approximate the Nosler factory loading, usually four shots go into one hole and the velocity is around 3250.

Not to sidetrack your thread but I didn't realize that 7828 was discontinued. Was this just recently announced? Not sure how I missed this

The last time I saw it on a shelf was pre-COVID. That's when I bought an 8 pounder. I love 7828 SSC. Single digit SDs every time. Not sure why they got rid of that one…

I love the stuff and wish I could find more

7828ssc is just a short cut version, the powder is identical to the old long cut 7828.
They did the same to H4831sc, it uses identical powder loads as the old version.
Many newer powders are short cut, it gives a more uniform packing scheme.

Cheers.

With 7828 discontinued

I searched and searched for information about it being discontinued and the only thing that I found was when they discontinued the long cut version years ago. 7828 SSC isn't discontinued and I switched from long cut to the SSC without any problems. Some larger cases may have fill % problems using the SSC compared to the long version.

 

[Catskills]

I called Hogdon and was told they don't know if SSC will ever be available. Traditional 7828 has been discontinued.

I used it in a 300 prc, very good sd.

N-565 is bring Used, by my grandson, in his 6.5 PRC to obtain,.. 3,135 fps w/ 140 gr. H-VLD Bergers and Accuracy in, the 3's / .4's
Sadly, Win StaBall HD, couldn't come close to, Getting THAT, kind of,.. Velocity

When IMR 7828 was Discontinued ( I Had, 2 Lbs, left ) Then, I MIXED in, ( Stirring Well ) 4 lbs of, the Newer 7828 SSC and It,.. shoots,.. FINE !
NO Difference, in Burn Rate as it's only, chopped Up to, Shorter granules !
The "Mixed" Powder, Looks UGLY But,.. Shoots Great in, a .270 WSM !
It would Be a Big Mistake to, Discontinue IMR 7828 SSC, as MANY Hunters / Shooters,.. USE,. it !
