Hart BBL 10"twist to slow for Berger 95gr VLD so I have these Lapua 90 gr sceaner Bullets. Just wondering what best powder will be. I have 4 choices H4350 H4831 Re#22 and IMR 7828. 52grs of H4350 gives me 3550 with 87gr V-Max.

My best accuracy came with H4831. Your rifle might like something else better but I would start with that one.

Safariman H4831 produced great performance and accuracy. But re#22 was better. Now I'm going to try Accurate Magpro with 87gr Hornady V-max. I hope to get at least 3,600 FPS I can do that with H4350 but I'm "Red Lining"it to do that.

I shoot a 10" twist Hart with the 95 VLD's in my 6-284 without issues.

Powder of choice is IMR 7828 getting 3600.

What is the length of your BBL? Are you sure its a 10" twist? Am I sure mine is? That's what was ordered. Yesterday shooting 90 gr Lupua I was getting the best accuracy ever with that rifle an Re#22.56.5 produced 3,550. But that berger is a better bullet. I tried I pushed that bullet hard they were all over the target. I think I went as high at 57grs of IMR 7828???????? Its not fair! What primer?
