H4831sc......H4350.....VN560.......
I have been using N560 in my Swedes for about 20 years now.Good stuff. This 560 is a powder I've never used but might have to give it a try. THNX Rl 19 and 22 seem promising, altho 22 is pretty Temp. Sensitive. 4064, 4895, RL 15 burn ranges
I know you like faster burning powders, but ya gotta be careful with them. DF Yes DF, that's been my experience as well. I'm not saying they won't work but they have not given OPTIMUM performance for achievable velocities.

Me using those powders, I gather is old school...
however even if I sacrifice 100 or so fps, they always give very consistent accuracy...
but in loading for the Swede all these years now, I have come to the conclusion, its much like a 223....
when it comes to accuracy, its harder to find one that won't work well in the case....

Seafire -- "old school", I don't know about that. <G>
I'm a JOC convert from the 70s and a Hagel-ite & JRS disciple from the 80s. I was thinkin I am pretty 'Old School'.
Old habits are hard to break!! However I have 'let up' on the accelerator some since joining the Campfire. Several here have had good influence on me, among them are Mr. B (Mule Deer), Denton, Dr Howell, et.al.
It seems things have changed a lot toward 'conservative' hand loading, at least round here.
So, maybe WE are both old school.
Have a good day.

I've use RL22 for many years. Great accuracy and good velocity make for easy shooting and many dead animals.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!
They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

First were some five-year old loads of 47.0 grains RS Magnum/WLR/140 Partition. Three shots were 2243, 2219, and 2181 fps. Pretty damn slow! Previously, Ramshot showed 49.8 as their top load using the 140 Partition and Magnum. That is the load I worked up to, and it gives great accuracy with no pressure signs on the brass. I believe Mule Deer has used 50 grains. I haven't chrono'ed yet so I can't speak to speed. ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a162/imrick/DSC00534_zps70f795b5.jpg)

IMR 4350 is doing about 0.8 moa in my chopped Swede with 140 grain pills. Had an unused supply available so I started with that. Since it did not appear to be broken, I've done no further research.
