IMR 7828 SSC Smokeless Gun Powder

IMR 7828 SSC is a magnum rifle powder with exactly the same burn rate as standard IMR 7828 and uses the same data. However, due to the super short kernels, metering is virtually as good as a spherical powder. This allows up to 4% more powder space in the case and in many loads yields more velocity than standard 7828. Such loads are marked with an asterisk in the data to show where standard 7828 will not fit.

IMR 7828 SSC Smokeless Gun Powder

Shop IMR 7828 SSC for magnum rifle velocity with spherical-like metering. Super-short kernels allow ~4% more case capacity and easier loading ideal for short magnums and long-range performance. Check IMR/Hodgdon load data before use.

Magnum Rifle Performance with Superior Metering

IMR 7828 SSC is a magnum-class rifle powder built to deliver the same burn rate and proven load data as standard IMR 7828, but with a crucial difference: super-short kernels that meter almost like a spherical powder. That means you get magnum velocities plus easier, more consistent dispensing through powder measures ideal when you want big performance without big headaches at the loading bench.

More Case Capacity A Velocity Edge

Because the kernels are much shorter, 7828 SSC allows up to ~4% more usable case capacity in many cartridges compared with standard 7828. In practical terms that can translate to higher achievable velocities in loads where case fill is critical handy for short-action magnums and other high-capacity rifle rounds. Look for loads marked in data tables where the SSC version will fit where standard 7828 won’t.

Versatile: Great for Many Rifle Cartridges

Reloaders use IMR 7828 SSC across a broad spectrum of calibers from lighter, high-velocity varmint rounds up through full magnum cartridges. It’s commonly employed in popular magnum and small-to-medium capacity rifle cartridges where a slowish magnum burn is desirable for top velocities and consistent long-range performance. As always, follow the manufacturer’s published load data for the specific caliber and bullet weight you’re using.

Clean Metering & Reloading Efficiency

If you like the flow of spherical powders but need magnum-class energy, 7828 SSC is a great compromise it meters very well through both progressive and single-stage presses, reducing charge variance and speeding up batch loading without sacrificing accuracy. It’s offered in common retail sizes and works with existing IMR 7828 load tables.
