[QUOTE="simmonzz, post: 2298282, member: 118783"] Understood. I feel like the typical powders used for the 140-156 range probably won’t be optimized for the 120-130 range. I talked to Steve at hammer bullets today and he said he’d never tested or shot a 16.5” rifle so he wasn’t sure what powders to recommend but it sounded like h4350-4831 would be a good range for a 20” barrel. I just was hoping more people might be able to chime in with real world data with what they’re using before I try and stock some powders I don’t have on hand because we all know powder is really hard to get and can be spendy if we do find it. I’m leaning towards going 16.5” because I know it’ll be just fine with the suppressor. 20” would probably be ok too it’s just gonna be as long as my 26” which is one of the whole reasons I’m trying to build a shorter rifle [/QUOTE]
