[QUOTE="7stw, post: 810645, member: 22854"] Bow, first of all, Welcome to the Brotherhood!!:) as to your question on the 7828' and 168 LRX, or LR nosler version. The 168 LRX Barnes bullet has a lot of bearing surface. That being said, the push needs to be a slow and steady one, such as H1000, RL25, or similar. The 7828 is an awesome powder, and is definitely a player in the world of the STW. However, and I can feel some frowns already, I feel it is BEST suited for 140-154, maybe, 160 class bullets.
