It never occured to me that 7828 could have been designed to replace the old 4831 but maybe so(?)


60gr IMR7828 in my .270 did a shade over 3200 with a 130NBT....how far above that do you get with 62?


bellydeep we are not getting near that velocity....in two Kriegers and one pre 64 M70 barrel(all 22") we are getting about 3100 fps.I have not tried it yet in the newer Brux barrel.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
