I’m experimenting with sciroccos. I haven’t heard much of people using them so I thought I’d be the outlaw. Bought some 4831SC and IMR 4350 to mess around with, Peterson brass and remington primers. Won’t have a field report for a bit but I’ll follow-up later on this month.

i used scirrocos long time ago, didnt kill any better then accubonds. and more pricey
175 berger elite with 7828, rel 26, or vv565
all get over 3000, over 30 head of big game and untold coyotes. to distances im called a liar at, 1 bull took 2 shots at less then 100yards , he wouldnt move but wouldnt fall down,
last week sold all my rel 26 and bought 2x as much 565 and 570, 6.5prc , 7mag, 7stw,300stw and creedmore all have great loads , with 565 so far
im trying to get down to h4350, tac and 565. and have many 8lb of ea,,,

I'd tend to agree with 300stw.
Vihtavouri N550, N565, N570, IMR7828, Retumbo, H1000 would do you better than IMR4350.
The 4831 would be close to RL19 burn wise.
Not the highest velocity, but decent accuracy.
RL23 and RL26 are good for the bullet weight, but finding any is hard to say the least.

I do have some H1000 but it works good with my 300 WBY so I’m trying to save it. I may try a few with it just to see what it does. The 4350 was what’s on the shelf. I do have high hopes for the 4831SC.

N570 and 195's are real good in my 7stw. Hammer 143's and RL 25 were good. The hammers were smokin at 3470.

I shoot 162 gr eldxs out if my 7mm rem mag. 74.5 grs (under book max) of 8133 pushes them at 3150 fps.
Other loads I tried were with 160 gr accubond with one oddball powder and one with h1000. Those two loads were around 3050 to 3100.
Abysmal velocity of watered down factory ammo for this exact gun is the reason I started reloading. The factory hornady ammo with the same bullet was less accurate and well under 2900 fps. I didn't buy a 7 rm to have 7-08 velocities.

Someone on another forum was giving his results on Ramshot Grand with his 300 Win.
Fairly impressive.
I might try some in the Rem & WBY Magnums.

I think if you stay with the slowest burning powders and near max charges you'll get good results
