I compared book data for the 180 Berger with 7828 as well as other guys attempts with the 180 bergers and eld's on line. My can was a sealed lb of old vintage 7828 in the old metal rectangular cans. If it shows better accuracy at close to the 3000 fps I'm getting with R26 I will buy a newer can. I have never played with Quickload so will be relying on brass signs, bolt lift and my chronograph for clues of how hard to push it.

If the 3060 fps with r26 I saw before holds up and accuracy stays good then the 7828 loads will be all for play. I have nothing else really to run the 7828 in so it's mostly a curiosity thing for now.

As it is I am sitting on about 22 more lbs of R26 so I am good for a while or atleast for this barrel. 😉
