[QUOTE="dwm, post: 1184359, member: 1136"] So I loaded some 270WIN with IMR 7977 based on a conservative H1000 charge and took them out and shot them. Let's just say I don't appreciate primers falling out when the case is extracted. Now I have to pull the bullets out of the rest of them and start over. The IMR 7977 that I have is no where near as slow as H1000. It is much faster. I think using IMR 7828 load data would be closer to IMR 7977 than using H1000. (and the error would be on the conservative - safe side) I can tell you I am going to back this load down at least 2 grains maybe more before I try IMR 7977 again. This is what the Hodgdon's web site says for a .277 cal 160 Nosler Partition: [FONT="Courier New"]Manufacturer Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Hd H1000 .277" 3.340" 55.0 2,614 44,200 CUP 59.0C 2,765 50,900 CUP IMR 7977 .277" 3.340" 56.4 2,662 50,700 PSI 60.0C 2,843 59,800 PSI[/FONT] By looking at this one would get the impression IMR 7977 is slightly slower than H1000. (IMR 7977 goes from 56.4 to 60C, H1000 goes from 55 to 59C) Has anyone else had a similar experience with IMR 7977? Use IMR 7977 with caution! Thanks, Doug [/QUOTE]
