Hi I'm new to this. I bought a 338-378 a couple years ago. It came with 6 boxes of nosler custom rounds with 225 gr accubonds 3253fps. Nosler doesn't do the custom rounds anymore and can't give me any info. And they shoot very well with my gun. I took a round apart and it appeared to have imr 7828 powder 110gr. Looking at threads I haven't seen many people running this powder and not nearly that much powder with it either. If anyone has some load recommendations I would like to give it a try. I do wanna stay with the 225gr accubonds. I'm shooting a 338-378 accumark rc. I believe 1-10 twist. Thanks

I'm on the coast too. I couldn't find how to pm you. I'm in the seaside area
Ya that's what I noticed too and didn't want to load anything without any type of advice or try and go with something that people are using. That's if I can find the powder

This is some data from my 338-378 and IMR7828ssc with 225 accubonds
Thanks for your info. Is that your favorite/ best powder to shoot with 225gr?

I shot 7828 for years with lots of luck. Then availability pushed me to look elsewhere. I ran RL 25 for a short period until I couldn't get that anymore. I would likely try N565 if I was going to keep shooting it but I have moved onto smaller rounds.
