Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters DATA POINTS H-414 & w 760

RL-15 is probably my favorite .308 powder thus far, but of course our temperature spreads are a lot less extreme than what you have, especially during the hunting seasons.

With current prices and a pretty good supply of powder already on hand, I’m focusing on using that up, along with my other components. Effectively, doing that is like shooting for free!

Thanks, John, very informative. I do use H4831 a lot and will always have it for my VC 450 as it was regulated with Hornady factory ammo and that is the powder Hornady uses. They were very nice and helpful, they sent me their load data and that is where I really leaned the variances in H-4831. For example, their loads used 93gr and when I tried it, they barely made 2050 fps, so I worked up to 98gr (also using data from the Wright book) and my rifle regulated perfectly with that charge at a steady 2100 fps. Even though the specs are 2150 as you probably know this, but that is with 28" barrels and my double sports 25". On the RL-15 question, I got those loads from JJ Hack here on the fire (74gr for TSX/F210s) and it's worked great for me here in Florida @temps from 30 plus to 95. As I mentioned before, the H414 in the 375 I used in Africa (Zim) in Sept, when it was 105 by 1000.

BTW, do you (or maybe Aussie) know when will Woodleigh start importing bullets to the US?

Jorge,

Thanks for the additional info.

Dunno when Woodleigh will start shipping bullets to the U.S. again, but hope it's soon!
