[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2652265, member: 2939"] Could you explain the loaded hot statement and what are you gaining in destroying the cases? My "STW" was a wildcat before the STW came out. I zeroed in on 175 grain hunting and 190 for paper. But anyway I found US 869 to be my go to powder because I also had a 30-378. I found the highest accuracy at less than max loaded. My 175's with a 28 inch barrel were downloaded to right on 3000 fps. No elk ever withstood it or even stopped a bullet. I had a friend who was a 7 mag man and very proud of it. we would set up the chrono and he was popping primers and not getting the speed I was down loading. I never was a fan of 284 which is even less performance. I did try 150 and 160 grain with retumbo,reloader 25, and 26. The lower BC just didn't justify bragging rights about the couple hundred fps gain [/QUOTE]
