I went to my local Sportsmans Warehouse tonight and bought 2 pounds of this after looking through a couple of their reloading manuals. I was after IMR 4895 but they were out. The manuals showed the Big Game to be a good choice for my 7mm08 with 139 gn and my 30-06 with 150 gn. Problem is when I get home I checked all 4 of my manuals and there is no load data for these cartridges with this powder. I plan on getting back to town to pick up some more books but it will be a few days. Does anyone have any data on this? I am just wanting to try different powders. So far I have tried IMR 4895 and 4831 but want to give the Big Game a try. Thanks.
