[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1537177, member: 30902"] My experience with H-1000 is somewhat similar. It always worked and I could always find a good accuracy load using it but never at top velocities. For most of my reloading years I didn't do a whole lot of experimenting with bullets, I just shot the same load for everything because 90% or more of my shooting was on Deer and Coyotes with an occasional Antelope thrown in. Only in the last 15 years or so have I really started getting serious about getting that Nth degree of accuracy from each of my rifles and my variety of calibers has expanded dramatically. For most of my adult civilian life I shot a .220 sift usually loaded with SBK's and powered by H380 or H414 and a 7mm RM or 7mm STW starting in 92 running mostly NBT's pushed by H870 until the last of it was gone. Once we started having lots of hogs in the mix I went to the Nosler Accubond and Hornady Interbond, had the best luck with the Interbonds and shot them pretty well exclusively until they became extremely hard to get my hands on when Hornady was gearing up for the roll out of the ELD series. I then tried the Swift Sirocco's which fly great but are too soft for me frequently flattening out almost like a coin on impact and taking ridiculous turns instead of tracking straight through. I'd experimented a little with the Barnes Bullets but wasn't generally happy with the TSX or LRX. When I went to Africa in 2015 I got introduced to the Peregrine's and the more I shoot them the better I like the. They are constantly working to improve and have been through four generations of the VLR series since I got introduced to them. Mostly today I shoot whatever their latest prototype to come out is and send my feedback to them in return. I started working with the RL powders about five or six years ago and have gotten better results with them than I ever have with IRM powders and even Hodgdon. Two of my STW's really like H1000 but all of my WM's, Rum's, STWs and .375 Rugers are shooting very well with the RL powders. I've run 17 and 19 in the 375's, 19, 23, and 26 in the .260's, 26 and 33 in the WM's, Rum's, and STW's. I try to focus on just two or three rifles in a couple or three calibers each year and when I find something that really works I quit right there and try to stay with it. I'll load up a couple of hundred with the same lot of powder and all components at a time once I'm there. [/QUOTE]
