Title: Powder Question
Post by: d_wilson on January 05, 2014, 05:33:24 PM: Looking to start reloading for my .300 Weatherby but I'm not sure which powder to use. I was told to buy Imr 7828 but all I have found so far is Imr 7828 SSC. Will the SSC work? Going to use 210 gr Bergers if that helps. Thanks.

IMR 7828 is a good powder I'm just mentioning H1000 as a alternate if you can't find 7828. Hooked On Toys had H1000 on the shelf the other day when I was in there.
