I already have H-1000, IMR4831, IMR 4007SSC. [Linked Image]

A little more speed than the other two with not bad accuracy. This project is a work in progress through so I'd like to hear other responses.

One group .500 next 1.25, not bad for factory fodder. Have been trying Magpro and it looks promising.

RE19 has given me the best accuracy, but speed is 80-100 fps behind RE 17.

IMR4350 is great but is a little slow in my gun (3225 ish). RL17 shows alot of promise but I have not shot it over the chronograph yet. Both powders with 130 grain bullet will shoot three shots .5.
