Just wondering what the pros and cons are of ramshot grand as opposed to ramshot Magnum I'm planning to use some in a 264 win Mag with hammers possibly in a 25-06 with hammer bullets thanks for all the help

Grand is supposed to be more temperature stable and supposed to have copper anti-fouling agents.

I picked up some a while back to try out in a 300 WM but haven't gotten around to it yet, From what I have read its a good powder.

Following. Going to try both in a 6.8 Western, once it's put together.

I picked up 15 lbs at Midway a few mo. ago for 27.95 and free shipping. It is working well in 243 with 90 gr. I have not found where it falls on Temp. chart, and have not shot it in hot weather.

I've noticed you'll get a touch more fps with a little less powder in 6.8 Western and 300 PRC. With that said, VihtaVuori powders were equally as fast and more accurate in both my 6.8's. Still testing the 300 PRC.
