I have not. Its fairly readily available here, but I started with IMR and it worked so well, I saw no need to experiment. Im even starting to use it in a few .223 loads...its giving me the same performance with almost five grains less that my usual IMR4895.

Five grains doesn't seem like much but on a good day on the killing fields thats $30 bucks saved on that one day. ( well, not really saved...it goes in the gas tank, or buys steak and beer.. whistle )

I have shot both IMR and H4198 and have had equal accuracy from both and equal velocity within half a grain of wiggle.

The H meters better

Ingwe, I'm all about economy, which is why I'm still burning through my supply of 2200 and 2230C from days gone by. Steak and beer is timeless however.

Dude, thanks for the report. I've never handled the H version but knowing it meters better is a definite bonus.
