Has anyone tried IMR 7828 with a 100 gr bullet. Will be out of a 22" barrel. Just looking for a good hunting load. I have lots of other powders and use 4831 most of the time. Just look for a use for this. Thanks

yes, Hornady list a starting load of 41.6 gr and Nosler is 41.5. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it and how they liked it.

Glad someone asked about .243 loads. I'm going to be loading some hornady SST 95 gr. with imr4350. Be shooting a ruger M77 lightweight.

Not having any trouble with the current load. An older gentleman was selling off his stuff and I bought a lot of it at a great price. So now I have a few pounds of the 7828 and was looking for a use for it. Always enjoy trying new loads, seeing if I can do as good or better with them. The twist is 1 in 9.5 if I recall correct.

It shoots them basically the same at 3/4” if I do my part. The 75 prints about an 1” higher than the 95gr.

4831 seems to work best in my grandsons 243's. I obviously didn't try every powder available but I did try 4895 and 4350. the 4831 is very accurate with 100 grain sierra boat tails.
