Think I might just run with 2400 since I already have it and its usability is more in line with the bulk of the relaoding im going to do, thanks for all the insight.
as mentioned earlier, i use win. 296.
you won't go wrong with 2400, it was the old standard--but, a couple of points worthy of mention here:
about 30 years ago i tried 2400, but i noticed at top end loads that it is not as "forgiving" as win. 296 or h-110, and in my estimation, the recoil i experience in comparing "equal power loads" with both powders always seemed to me to feel "
a little more sharp" with 2400. in addition, when at full power loads, sometimes the cases are just on the edge of being tight or wanting to stick--something i've never had with win. 296,
even at full duty loads with heavy, 300 grain pills.
just an observation that might possibly benefit you...
