Have any of y’all used this powder before? Mainly for the 7mm Mag? What about the .270?
I thought this was a new powder as I’d never seen it before. My buddy said it’s been around for over a decade and he loves it in his 7mm.
I saw it for the first time this past week wanted to get a pound of it but wasn’t paying the local small town price of $68 for a pound.

I started going through my manuals and started seeing it listed quite a bit.

I use 7828ssc for 270 Win, but the data for that powder looks good. I‘ve been using the same load for close to 20 years and don’t like change.

I have a .270, but don't shoot it a lot and have never reloaded for it. Years ago a friends dad that had a federal license to manufacture and sell ammo passed away and he gave me 600 rounds of ballistic tip 130 grain ammo that shoots well in the rifle. It's killed a couple of deer and it rode along as a backup rifle on elk hunts, but was never used.

I use Hybrid H100V, probably still have 9lbs of it. Powder Valley probably still has 8lb kegs for $250 before tax and hazmat...so $300 by the time it reaches your door. Way better than $68/lb. That local shops prices are higher than giraffe nuts.

It is an H4350 burn rate that gives you good velocity and mediocre temperature stability. It would definitely be good in the .270 and with lighter bullets (145 and less) in the 7 mag...although you'll end up with a poor case fill (velocity ES and SD will suffer) in the mag.

It gives great performance in the Creedmoors.

Perhaps better 7 mag substitutes in stock (as of my writing this) are:

7828SSC (160-170gr bullets).
H4831SC (150-160gr bullets...and EXTREMELY temp stable).
N165 (140-155gr bullets).

My local shop has the monopoly around here on reloading stuff and they charge according. It’s not often I buy from them even though I like to support small local business. I’d did pay inflated costs for my cans of GOEX FFg but I hadn’t seen it anywhere else. Supply and demand in that case.

I’ve read several articles about it. Can’t believe I’d never heard or seen it before.

That’s good to know. I do have a pound of H4831SC.

I’ll keep watch for the 7828 as my Rem 700 likes the heaver stuff. Been shooting 175gr in it for 20 years now.

The 7828 is in stock at PV right now.

For 175gr stuff, I'd probably not go 4831 or H100V. You can still get decent velocity, but I'd bet your case fill would be under 75%. Those powders are just too fast for big magnums and heavy bullets.

H1000 or Retumbo are your Hodgdon powders for that weight of bullet...but good luck finding any of that.

Accurate Magpro is available and gets great velocity...it just isn't temp stable.

Reloader 25 and 26 are great too, as is VV N170 and N570.

I have Retumbo so that’s also a plus.
