Mr_Logic Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 H414 works well, and I have also had good results with H4831SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy111 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hogdgon recommend H4350 as one of the best powder for 100gn in .243, which is why I've used it for years 42gns, Speer 100gn BTSP, Remmie LR primer, gives me 2950fps and around .5 moa, when I do my bit I use Varget for my 70gn Nostler bt's but have never tried other powders, so cannot comment on them. Hope this helps. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
