ostrea Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I Know its not pigeon related but i have noticed there are a few people on here that do shoot underlever rifles as well. I am after some reloading data using powders Hodgon H4227 or Norma R-123 both powders are discontinued the Bullet heads are Sierra 44 cal 250 GR FPJS Silhouette. Found it impossible to get data through google search, i have three tubs of these powders and it would be a shame not to be able to use them.

Boristhedog Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've got the Speer Reloading Manual - number 10 (1982) with data for the .44 magnum (Rifle) for some powders (4227 is there but not Norma). If you pm your address I'll copy the relevant pages and post them to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Might help a little, according to the Vhit chart 110 is in the same burn rate range as H4227. In their 2006 chart they list a starting load of 20gr, and a max load of 22gr, but thats with a 240gr`bullet. http://www.vihtavuori-lapua.com/pdfs/Reloading-Guide.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: It looks like 2400 is a bit faster http://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.html Edited February 7, 2012 by Catweazle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Would be a shame if you could`nt find a load to suit, powder is so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostrea Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thank,s for the replies, it would be a shame as the powder was kept in a dry heated house so should be good to go, had the powder given to me when i bought a load of reloading stuff from someone that has packed up shooting he even gave me 2000 of the sierra 250gr bullets so should keep me going for a while! Unfortunately he could not remember the load data he originally used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
