110 accubond and h4350

[aggie99]

I am trying to work up a load for a Ruger #1 in 25-06. Can anyone tell me the max load for a 110 grain accubond over h4350? 4350 seems to be the most accurate powder out of this gun. I am currently using 48 grains with 0 signs of pressure. Thanks for any info.

Whats your velocity like???

I was using 51g H4831sc with my 110g AB's at 3085fps and 1/2 MOA groups.

I don't know yet. I have borrowed a chrony and will be getting some velocities this weekend. I have a load using 59g of Retumbo also but the accuracy is better with the H4350.

Thanks for the info

As a tangent, I also have a load for 117 grain Hornady interlock SST's. Can any one comment on their terminal performance?

Thanks

Its getting about 3070 with H4350 and about 1/2" groups. I'm getting 3250 with 59 grains of Retumbo and about .75" groups. All the loads shot from prone with a harris bipod and a rolled jacket for a rear support.

Nice...

I'd almost go with the Retumbo load...Doubt you'll notice .25" in the field...Additional 200fps is nice on the receiving end of things...

Try the 2 loads at longer ranges and see how they compare in accuracy. Thats what I would do to determine which load I would end up using...

3250 fps with Retumbo - Impressive. I am only getting 3325 in my 257 Wby using the same bullet and 74.0 of H1000 out of a 24" vangaurd barrel.

One thing I found with my Ruger #1 in 6mm Rem is that it is important to neck size only and put a clocking mark on the case head. My 6mm shoots into the 3's.

Sounds like you are there with the 110AB. Good hunting!
