LuckyduckerI don't burn 4350 in my 22/250 rifles, but use H4895. It likes cup and core bullets seated .010" off the lands. Chamber dimensions can be all over the place, especially the lead or free-bore, and I never trust a book COAL in any rifle.

kennedyLuckyducker what's the starting load you would use? I got a pound of that?

LuckyduckerThe manual states 32.0 grains as starting load. You should expect to go up from there to find the sweet spot, but I won't give you my load because of liability issues.

AtkinsonI find 4350 meters in a measure poorly unless perhaps you have a very long tube...WW760 is a ball powder and the close equivelent to 4350, both being slow burning powder, but WW760 measures beautifully and super accurately thu the measure..just my two bits..also in my swift and other calibers.
