    Checking to see if anyone has a recommended loads for the 135's using H4350 and/or R17 and R26 using hornady brass. Ive got 2lbs of H4350 but im seeing a lot better speeds being had with the RL17 and 26.

    Also, if you have and loads with the 140 eldm's and RL17 and 26, that would be cool to see as well b/c im currently shooting the 140s over H4350.

    Thanks fellas.
     
    I have tried 130's with RL26. RL26 is a miracle powder, for bullet with weights that are heavy for the bore diameter (.30 cal; 200+gr / .264 cal; 140+gr / .243 cal; 105+ gr). I have tried the RL26 and 130 Berger combo; and although I got crazy speeds (3100+ fps), I could never get it happy. Groups always stayed around 3/4"-1" at 100 yards.
     
    I have 300 plus rounds of 135 classic hunters through my rig. 41.8 gr H4350 velocity 2785 SD 8 and 40.8 gr of R17 2775 SD 8-10. IMO I prefer Using R17. This is a three shot group @ 600 yards using R17.
