[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 974875, member: 2567"] Sorry I jumped into this so late, but here is my take. I started loading with H-1000 years ago with 225 accubonds and wasn't impressed with velocity. I could only get around 3100. I changed to reloader 25 and 97 grains yielded 3300 fps with the 225 accubonds. I tried some 225 barnes tipped triple shocks and had to reduce the charge to 95 grains and right at about 3200 fps. My barrel is a broughton 5c with a 9.3 twist finished at 27 1/2 inches. Then I had a friend try a newer batch of H-1000 with 300 grain match kings and his velocity was much higher than what I experienced years before. I bought some of the new H-1000 and now with 97 grains and the 225 accubond, I am getting 3300, duplicating my reloader 25 velocity with better temperature stability! Next, I moved up the the 300 gr berger otm hybrid and found a sweet spot with 90 grains of H-1000 and it is yielding 2830 fps. [/QUOTE]
