IMR 7828

[Loonhunter]

Anyone use this for 300wm?
It’s on sale locally for $16.99. I’m using h1000 but at that price I may experiment.
Thanks

It works great in my 300 WM. Bartlein 1:9. I use Berger hybrid 230s and Sierra 240s seated just shy of touching - like -.001.

Thanks. I’ve got some hornady 225gr vldm. Not a lot of data out there for that. How much powder you running?

 

[Bender]

You actually shoot? Not just walk around town in yer assless chaps?

 

[Loonhunter]

Hard to believe, but yes.
I talk about shooting a lot over on an assless chaps site.

Hornady manual #10;

61.8 grs. - 71.1grs. coal of 3.340" so obviously taking up a ton of room at that seating depth.

I spent a few weeks near Casper a couple of decades ago hunting mule deer. In the Shirley(?) mountains. Camped next to the North Platte river. Caught a monster rainbow. Beautiful country. People are nice but very different.

Thanks! I asked around, someone said there wasn’t any data in the 10th edition so I’ve been looking elsewhere.

Different than what?

We have no more Deer, we hate guns. And wear chaps everywhere. Different indeed. Stay away...

Wyoming has RL26 on the shelves in every store, in every town!!!

okay ... except for the chaps and people lying about the deer and guns, why is that different? Seems to me that Casper is only 15 or 20 miles from Wyoming, there's antelope everywhere, and a LOT of open ground. Okay, I admit it, I think the chaps are weird but I also think that most horses are dumb as a bag of rocks.

Don’t worry. Not planning on returning.

Not ‘bad’ different. Just, different.

Yea. And the saddle horn is in the middle of the saddle.

Aaaaaaand?

See.
People are different.
Now get along little trolly

Casper IS DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF WYOMING.

7828 was my go-to for 300wby till I got the extreme condition bug and switched to H1000.

I wasn’t planning on 7828 but at $16.99/lb? Is it on sale everywhere?

 

[Loonhunter]

Aaaaaaand?

Sounds like a cork popping when you dismount.

Let me know if you need it for the lighter weight bullets.

BTW, it's Colorado and Nebraska that suck. That's why it's so windy in Wyoming.

Thanks for the help.
And, I remember driving to Wyoming from Ohio. I referred to it as Ne-fucking-braska.

Okay, I confess, that was a little obscure. And "Anchorage is only 50 miles from Alaska" (check a map). The people and culture in Anchorage are different from most of the rest of the state. Based on my visits to Casper, seems to me that it is a little different from the rest of Wyoming - I think that Cheyenne is similar.

Oh, OK. That makes sense.
