[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 528491, member: 2011"] 4831 is the same as 4831ssc. Note that I am a velocity hawg! I milk the last ounce of velocity out of every thing I shoot. Except the 270 Win where I stop at 3200 FPS MV. Why stop there? Simply it seems to me, to be uncool to shoot a classic beyond what it was designed for. For 30 years I shot the Sierra 90 gr hollow point at 3400 with, I think, 54 grains of 4895. The 130 grain Sierra BT went 3190 with N-205 until it became unavailable then a stiff load of IMR-4350. Norma powder did the job with noticeably less pressure. RL or RE-22 is the same powder as N=205/MRP but I understand much less quality control. (Possibly floor sweepings.....:rolleyes:) 4831 never cut the mustard except for great accuracy and mediocre velocity. I shot a max load of 4831 and it did everything I asked behind the 130 grain pill. I made some memorable long shots with it. Then I bought the Oehler #1 Chrono and learned the bullet was traveling under 2900 FPS as compared to the 3100 stated in the book. That flat didn't cut it. There are fellas here shooting the Winny at almost unbelievable velocities. You may wish to do some searches. For me 3190 is plenty sufficient with 130s and 140s. Case life is measured in years when used only for taking game of any size. Start with the cases you have. Compare their weight against Winchester's. If your milking velocity, go with the lighter case. [/QUOTE]
