[QUOTE="buffalorancher, post: 244938, member: 5771"] My experience has only been with H4350 but I found a huge difference in a different lot. The gunsmith that built my rifle used H4350 to accuracy test and got I think 3150 FPS with a 107 gr. SMK in a 6-284. I think this powder burns too fast but I bought a 1 lb. canister in case I needed to duplicate the load. Well, I didn't find anything that shot as good as the 4350 load so I loaded some about 2 grains less than what the gunsmith used and found them to be way too hot. Heavy lift on bolt and blown primers in Lapua brass. Ended up going down something like 5 grains on powder with a load that is now 41 grains and still plenty warm with only 3075 fps. but plenty accurate. Kind of a waste to shoot this rifle so slow but it is what it is I guess. I'll only buy larger cannisters from now on. [/QUOTE]
