Gents,
I've been running 59.5gr of RL22 in Winchester brass with good results but have some H4831sc on hand to try. Does anybody have any loads with that combination that works well for them? I get 2800fps in the summer and a little over 2700 in the winter with the RL22 out of a 26" tube. I am primarily hoping to get more consistent results throughout temperate variations with the Extreme rated powder.

Thank you.
 
I will be loading some 190smk with h4831. I can let you know in a week or so. I just got my rifle back and the smith used r22 with 175 Bergers for a .3s 5 shot group.
 
I'll have to go over my notes again, but I think somewhere around 57gr H4831sc under the 208 amax .020" off the lands shot pretty well for me. As always work up to loads posted as every rifle is different.
 
I endend up with 60.0 gr of h4831sc under the 208 amax using win brass and BR2 primers. Ave 2740 fps out of my 26" bartlein.
No pressure signs and velocity was much more consistent than with reloader 22. I didn't try going any hotter as the load shot really well and I hate load development.
