pestcontrol1 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 H4895 is as hard to get hold of as varget but is a good powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Depending on the bullet weight try N130, N133 or N140. For weights up to 55grn try N130. A good powder with a wide spread (50 to 60grn) is N133. From 60 to 80grn try N140. I tried Varget for some heavier bullet weights, but the .223 didn't like it, and it was dirty, N140 worked a dream.

B B Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have never seen a .22250 yet that wont scare you just how accurate it is with H 380, for a 50 grain bullet you want around 38 grain of the stuff and light it with A cci benchrest primer and you may just not bother going back to varget anytime soon. I Have more Norma 202 than i can shake a stick at and i have a near 1 hole load at 3680fps for a 50grain bullet so i wont be buying any H380 but if i live long enough to run out of this norma and suplies dry up completely i will be a H380 user in the 22250.

Heard the same elsewhere about 380 and 22-250! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeker Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 There are some discussions on other sites about Nitrochemie TR-140, Elcho-17, 15 (33?) (Reloader rebadged or clones?) and I think I saw mention of a write up of one of them by Laurie in the Target Shooter ezine. The brand name on the tin may not reflect who actually make them ... shock horror! Seems there is some suggestion that these may become more available locally.

cervusman Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 H380 was unnamed when Bruce Hodgden first used it.After a few rounds in 22-250 shooting one hole groups with a 38 gr. charge behind a 52 gr. bullet, he named the powder after the charge weight, thus H380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
