H4831

Re: H4831

For my 260 I use H4831SC to push my 142SMK and H4350 to push my 139 Scenars. Both powders are good for this caliber.

It's a great powder for 260 - especially with a longer barrel or AI chamber.
 
Re: H4831

I think it's a good idea, SC, but have not found a use for it, to date. I don't know if the actual reason for it is that it meters better or that it packs tighter? BB

4831SC meters better than 4831(long sticks)

Re: H4831

I tested my 260 with H4350, H4831SC, H1000 and I think Varget just for kicks.
H4350 won out over 200yds under that it didn't seem to matter.

I played with varget fun fun as well. 4350 was definitely better for me. Still interested in R17 or R19 though.
 
Re: H4831

Yes, I know H4831sc meters better, and I know it also compacts better; if there is a need to compress it. So, did those nice people at Hodgdon's design it so it would meter better? My guess is the second reason. BB

The R powders bug me due to the temp induced velocity variation. Where I live it's unacceptable to me. That said I know plenty of others who use it around here.
