Running out of the “ssc” version. What difference have you found in the regular vs the “SSC” version? I am loading a 264 wm with it. Thanks for any input.

I haven't looked at IMR's webpage or load data in a while, but I'd betcha a buck it still says the load data is the same for the two versions of the powder. I do use the regular version of 7828 in .264 Win Mag shooting 140-grain Accubonds, and it performs well. I do not need to compress powder at all to seat a bullet. My charge is 63.7 grains.

The only difference is that using the SSC version will allow up to 4% more powder due to the shorter grain size. You may see lower SD numbers as well due to the finer cut. I use the regular in my 280 Rem and 154 SST bullets, it is awesome. I found a bunch powder at a shop that was getting out of reloading. Bought all they had for 14 dollars per pound. All were the same lot.

Only limited experience between the two, but I have found no appreciable difference. That is in a 7mm STW with 160 gr Accubonds. Same load and very close on velocities.

They are the same. The ssc just fits better.

I always used the regular unless the SSC would fit and the regular wouldn't. I have better luck with slow powders when they're compressed.

I’ve found more variation between lots of long cut than a difference between long and short cut.

If I might suggest, VV24N41 from "Powder Valley" . Usually always in stock. Slower burning than Rel 33. Drives the Nosler 140 gr AB to 3228 fps in my Win 70 EW 26" Bbl & tiny groups. [img] https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/product/vihtavuori-24n41-8/[/img]

The only difference is how they flow through the powder measure.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
