I have a can of H414 that does well with 46 gr of this and Hornaday 139 bullets I get a one hole group at 2788 FPs In my 7mm-08.


BCL-2 same bullets and 43 gr gets 2750 one hole and 44 gr 2840 1” group..

Above these listed loads I got larger groups 2-4 inches and a lot more fps.

I have always shot H 4831 so let me ask a question is it common to see this much change in one grain of these ball powders?

Because a grain more in both of these powders goes extremely fast but I have large groups of 2 to 4 inch spreads on the rest of the shots. SST never did group in either powder.

I have been shooting the Hornady "139 grain Whitetail hunter bullets" which gives me one hole group but instead of the 2850 ft./s they were shooting 2650 feet per second which is a BIG surprise.

I had someone give me a pound of reloader 17 has anyone tried this load and in their 7 mm 08? Looking at the charts it should fall right in with the H414 and the different 4350s On the powder Equivalency charts. Has anybody tried this powder? Thanks JimD

Any one got some help on this? I did have a member sell me a pound of h4831 and a 1000 Winchester large rifle mag primers. This is great for the 270, 280 and 7 mag but

Scrambling with these other powders is interesting after only loading H4831 since 1985.
For the 7mm-08 I am still trying to find loads.

Is it unusual to see the pattern spread in a single grain on the H414 and BLC2 powders and see the fps go up 70-100 fps? I also found a pound of H380 if anyone has used it in this rifle

What is the new "normal" YOu shoot what you can find?

I do have the Hodgdon print outs for these rifles but there is NOTHING for the Reloader 17 and what to shoot it in.

YOUR load in the H414, H380 or BLC-2 for a 139 or 140 grain bullet would be appreciated to evaluate.
Thanks,

Jim
