Hi Guys,



Has anyone tried any of the above powders in a straight .284?



Its primarily to be used as a deer rifle utilising 140gr heads. But would also like to try some long range so im also wanting to shoot 168gr Berger vld's.



The rifle is built on a short action with a 24" barrel, hence the 168gr over 180gr.



Thanks in advance,


Joe

My straight .284 with a 32" barrel shoots very well in F-Class using pointed Berger 168 VLDs with the forced transfer to N160 after H4831SC supplies had dried up starting approx. a year ago.

 

Don't know whether powder burning will be 100% with N160 in a 24" barrel though. The QL fraternity should be able to help out.

 

Atb,

 

Bianchi
