H4350 in 260 rem.

[Steel head]

Now I understand!
WOW!
I finally found some yesterday and am at the range doing load testing.
I've just begun and bug holes, I can finally say bug holes!
Glad I bought more than a pound.

Yes indeed.

Varget works good too but doesn't give the velocity.

Its funny how the availability of powder is different in every state. I have been reading posts from people on here for the past year saying how hard it is to find h4350 but were im at in illinois its everwhere.

Most everything rifle has been around here but H4350 has been a ghost locally for 18 months.

Right now 3 main local shops a LOADED with powder, even my fav pistol powder WST!!!!!!

I'll post pics in a bit but a rough ladder from 41.6 to 43.2 and Hornady 140BTHP's gave me a low of.053 and a high of .239 for 3 shot groups.
Easily 1/2 of any other powder I've tried.
I'm goin to try to 44 as my 43.2 primers looked primo and maybe find a high node.
42 gave me the .053 and I'll explore that a bit obviously with some higher count groups and get some chrony #'s, after shooting that I'm surprised I kept the last groups good as I was giggling like a lil schoolgirl.




As a side note, the money I paid to watch the online training vid was WELL WORTH IT!

It works pretty good in '06 too... I can get it pretty easy in Indiana but not in kegs. I buy 5 or 6 one pounders every couple of pay days....

 

[Wannashootit]

Just scored 6 one pounders...

But, I have a big jug of IMR 4350, and I really need to give it a try in our .260 and 7-08. Some say, it provides slightly higher velocity than "H".

Got off work a bit early so I got the chrony out.
26" Shilen
140bthp
Win 243 brass necked up.
42.2 is my low node with 2731 avg.
Temp is 92.
43.9 is my high node, avg was 2843 and brass and primers still look good, don't know how much higher I could go but brass life is more important to me than speed and I'm happy with 2800'ish
Accuracy was still good but the bench I have at home is the Rube Goldberg poster child and vertical stringing is always an issue.
Need to rig up a way to set up the chrony for prone.
Ill load 25 of each to test at distance and decide.
I'm quite happy with this powder as it turns my low dollar home build into a pretty solid performer.

Big R is where I have been buying my powder from too. Some times I may have to travel 30 or 40 minutes to the next store over to get it if my local store is out.
