H-1000, RL22, IMR-7828, MAGNUM. H 1000 is what I prefer. Edit, after re-reading op post I see the IMR. I was thinking H-4831. Yes the 4831 both IMR and Hodgen will work well. Buuuut H-1000 has provided the tightest groups and higher end velocity. The slower Norma and Vitta-Vouri work well also. Sorry I don’t have their numbers off the top of my head. I don’t have data for the relatively new RL25 but because it is slower than RL22 (if their naming system remains constant) should be good as well.

Sorry, WWS. It would probably just tick you off if I told you what I paid the last time I bought powder. But I will tell you the best deal I ever made was $120 for one 20# keg of H-4895 and an 8# can of WW-742. Part of an estate sale being liquidated at a local gun show. Both containers were original sealed from the factory.

God, you mean I have to agree with you on something? I'm beginning to feel nauseous... Favorite load: 180-grain Nosler Partition with 70.0 grains of IMR 4350-- 3,000 fps in my rifle. Jim

I like the barnes bullets and they are close to a buck around. If I pull the trigger I'll likely buy a lifetime supply of components as I doubt they will get much cheaper or more available. good plan

Jim I understand your queasiness, it's mutual but you're still not quite there. I drove a 180 gr. Partition with 68 grains. I'm a conservative.

I am not of fan of cast bullets in rifles. You just cant shoot them at decent velocity's. Exception for me is handgun bullets. Especially in revolvers. Have shot MANY right out of the mould. Just lubed no sizing. Old style wheel weights are great. Hard lead. Been playing with 69 caliber round balls inside a wad for 12 gauge. Open choke no rifling. Pretty accurate to 50 yards. Weigh more than ounce. With longshot powder you can get 1500 FPS. Thats a BIG smack. If you have a choked barrel probably need soft lead stead of wheel weights. JB bore cleaner and remington bore cleaner both get lead out. Will need a brush. They wear out quick. Get them in bulk.
