either of the 4831 powders are a bit fast... look here IMR only lists one powder!!! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

I had the same thought, but thought I would seek the opinions of others. I would think that the H1000 would be close in performance to IMR 7828 but to look at Hogdon's data it looks like a dog comparatively. Aren't the two pretty close in burn rate and applicability? I would like to try the H1000 if I could get decent velocity as I have 6 pounds of it compared to two pounds of 7828. | |||

RL25 and H1000 are close to IMR7828 on the burn rate chart RL25 is also a fine performance powder for the .257 Weatherby. I'm not sure but there might be a difference in density and they just can't get enough of the less dense powder in the case. Burn rate don't always tell the whole story..... You should try it and work up cautiously and don't be afraid of compressing..... /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

RL22 has been hard to beat in the .257 Weatherby. I load 72 grains with the 100 TSX, velocity is over 3600 fps, 3 shots in .6 at 100 yards. As always I would ease my way up to that max. or stop when the chrono says 3600. On occasion and with a clean barrel, this load will one hole for three shots, but seems to require a bit of cleaning every 15-20 shots. IMR probably only has one powder for the .257 no. 7828. RL 25 should work, I have some but the RL22 load gives me no reason to test it. A shot not taken is always a miss | |||

My rifle likes RL-22 for the 115 and 120 grain Nosler Partition and 100 and 115 grain Barnes TSX. It also likes H-1000 for 110 grain Berger. Good shooting. phurley | |||
