I have been using H1000 in my Sako for many years with great success and have no desire to change. However, H1000 is becoming impossible to obtain. I have been able to get a couple of jugs of US869 as a backup so that I can keep shooting until the H1000 supply situation is resolved. Here in Western Canada that will probably take quite a while.

I would appreciate any recipes, suggestions or advice about using US869 with 300 grain Lapua Scenars and Berger Hybrids that you guys may have.

The rifle is a TRG-S with a 9.5 twist 28" Bevan King barrel which comfortably and consistently shoots 1/4 MOA with 94.5 grains of H1000. All my bullets are Moly coated.
