You will find the H414 real dirty compared to the Vit powder mate.

[Guest ds2]

[Guest varmartin]

You clean it after shooting it ..right . ??

[Guest ds2]

thanks guys rgds dave.

[silentsoulsleave308holes]

if it is 243 and 87gr then h4350 is prob the ultimate allround for it

 

vit 160 with that weight is extremely accurate but a little more sensitive than h4350

 

I have tried just about every hodgd, vit powder with extensive testing for seating depths, charges, bullet weight etc etc load you can in 243 and have got through four 243 rifles in doing so and h4350 was the favourite for all of them with that weight boooolet for all round reliability

 

I also tested between mag and lrg primers...........lrg were gave on average best accuracy but the mags could be loaded any time of the year and seamed to be less affected by climate and were almost as accurate and sometimes only sometimes mind , better than lrg's

 

hope this helps

thanks for that silentsoulsleave308holes, what load did you use with the 87g hollow points and h4350 rgds dave.

[silentsoulsleave308holes]

I will look in the morning 4 ya

 

I think that partic is in an a4 folder somewhere containg that which promotes growth and vigour loads of useless crap I keep

 

when I realised that a4 bits and pieces took up to much room I started keeping a book, then two, three, four and I believe I am on book 6 now

 

if ya tell me your twist, bbl length and exact bullets I can punch numbers and tell ya your opt speed to send um for opt accuracy then tell you what charge for the powder you want that way you get the result you want quicker if that helps

I have used them for years with 4350 46grs seated .025" off the lands accurate as anything, also works with speer 85gr hps. ~I have standardised on CCI benchrest primers with this load and have no variations.

There are new powders occasionally brought out but there are benchmark stds which have been proved over millions of rounds particularly in the USA.

Two of them are 243 =4350 powder 270 =4831 powder and so on, I have found these also to give the best results overall, making me a speck of dust in the millions
