I have 50 rounds loaded for this year downstairs.....61 gr of the new stuff with those old 130 screw machine Partitions.They shoot good!


GF1 I may have misread your post which I took to mean that the load of 62 gr of the old (not the new) H4831 was too hot. I can see how some rifles would not like 62 gr of the new stuff, depending on the bullet.


The load of 62/"new" H4831 is too hot...in Jack's favorite rifle (according to Brad, I wasn't there). It may be fine in others, and I make no broad claim either way.
