Have a bunch of it and no H4350. Have a RAR on order It's not that Liberals are unwilling to listen to another point of view, they are just simply amazed that another one exists.

Nosler data for 140gr shows 1/2gr difference. It's not that Liberals are unwilling to listen to another point of view, they are just simply amazed that another one exists.

ELD-X load uses 41.6 gr. H4350, Hornady brass, & Federal primer. ~2.805" OAL. From a 22" barrel I'm just under 2650 fps MV. It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
