acsteele30/06 Partition load. Velocity?
I am loading for a new Savage 114Ultra, and have not had a lot of luck with IMR4831, or 4350 so far. I tried another powder I have seen suggested here, loaded up 55.5gr of H414, and bingo, I'm in buisness! My groups were just a bit over 2" at 200yds, but it was pretty windy this morning. In fact, it was so gusty, I couldn't even set up my chrony.
Anybody got any idea of what velocity I might be running out of a 24" barrel?
Of note, 180gr Partitions, and 180gr Remington CoreLocks gave identical results.
Thanks guys!

vapodog this shows loads for you 180 grain 30-06 and H-414
I'm using H-414 in my 22" 30-06 and can get 2,800+ '/sec with the 180 grainers.
Excellent groups and while I don't remember the amount I believe its a couple more than your load....but be careful and work up.....you might be about 2,650-2,700 as is.

acsteeleThanks Vapodog!
I'm not going to sneeze at 2740, plus or minus. The accuracy was enough to make me happy, and a 180 Partition would pretty much ruin a a cow elks whole day. Not to mention the deer in my area.
It looks like 55.5 is listed as max, but I sure didn't see any scary pressure signs.

And you won't....I believe this is a full 7,000 PSI less than the 270 win is loaded to.
