I'm not sure if my loads are anemic or not, but I've tried to stick with the loading manuals. Here's where I've topped out so far - most hovering around 1" groups:
160gr Mag Tip
- 49.0gr RL 19 - 2520fps
- 46.0gr H414 - 2550fps
- 48.0gr IMR4831 - 2560fps (but accuracy was not good)
- 46.0gr H4350 - 2560fps
154gr Hornady SP
- 47.0gr H4350 - 2550fps
- 49.0 gr W760 - this is a published load in one of my old books. I got 2780fps out of this which kinda scared me. As mentioned in my initial post, this powder sure seems to have two different personalities here in AZ. When things heat up, so do my velocities. Darn thing shot 3/4" though.
- The rest of my notes were pre-chronograph days, but my notes also say the groups I achieved with other powders were not to my liking anyway. I love 3/4" groups, but will settle on 1 1/2".
As I side note, I did splurge a while back for something in the middle - 150gr Partitions. I only tried it with 4350 and my rifle didn't care for it.
Thanks for the info. Good to hear these "economy" bullets do good things.
