Copy, I realize that about COAL. The reason I was asking this question to Phil Rizzo was to get an idea as to what kind of velocity I can expect to achieve from N568 in the 300 WM before I commit to purchasing more of it before it runs out (I don't have time to go test N568 for a couple of...

Wondering what is your COL for that load? Thank you - Chris

Wondering if you could share your experience with N570 relative to the cartridge you are using. Could you share numbers that reflect the temperature stability of that powder for your applications? I am looking at prioritizing my testing of a few powder options for 300 WM and 300 Norma with...

Copy that, Mike. I really appreciate you spending the time to look into it. Thank you sir - Chris

Hi Mike, wondering if you ever ran those tests with MRP. I am sitting on a 8 LBS jug of MRP and trying to figure out what to do with as I have all the powders that I need at the moment. If I don't end up selling this MRP powder I will at a minimum test it in my 280 with 166 gr. A-tips and with...

Alan, do you mind sharing your accuracy and/or hunting load with 300 Norma with the 208 gr. LRX? In particular, I am interested in your barrel length, the powder you are using, COAL, and muzzle velocity (I can extrapolate the powder charge from there and work up for testing). I would...

Hi Mike, you are welcome. You obviously have a lot of hunting and loading experience behind you in different climates which others can benefit from, please keep up the messaging! I don't have any data sheets on H4350, H4831/H4831SC or H-1000, powders I also use. I will keep an eye out...

Mike, thank you for putting out that data sheet. In my experience, using Temp. stable powders is a huge time saver if one is seeking accuracy and precision, for any caliber... Attached is an independent study which looks at the Temperature Insensitivity of Varget, IMR 4166, IMR 4046 and...

Never used RL26 ( RL26 0.50 fps per °F) and would love to try it if I could find some as well. It is my understanding that RL26's burn rate is really close to H1000, with the later being less temperature sensitive (H1000 0.21 fps per °F). Have you ever tried H1000 or H4831sc (H4831sc 0.08 fps...

Copy that, thank you Charlie.

Hi Charlie, I was wondering if you found a good velocity node with the 175 LRX: I am doing load development with a CA 300 WM 26" barrel and experimenting with COL I seemed to get really low SDs 0.38" off the lands w/ 74.2 gr. of H4831sc, velocity is 3170 fps and it is looking like it wants to...

Ok so... NorthRiverGuide what bullet did you settle on and how did the elk hunt go?

That's good mathematical explanation of how 0.10 grains could affect velocity, thank you for the analysis. As a reloader I would postulate that as one gets closer to the max load and/or a to a compressed load, the powder measurements' precision and accuracy become even more important as the...

Sorry to hear about your dog... A couple of ideas on powders: VV N570 if you can get your hands on any for the 250 or 300 grain bullets (Going off the VV load data for the 338 Lapua) and for 300 grain bullets you may want to also try VV 24N41 with the later being readily available and a single...

Very impressive! Thank you for sharing.
