[QUOTE="LB, post: 35245, member: 2721"] Are you using matched cases, and is the extreme spread velocity a lot wider, R-22 versus 4831sc? Was the 4831 load compressed? What primer are you using, and have you tried different ones? Seems like your answer is somewhere in your question. If 72.0 grains is accurate, and 74.0 grains is unacceptable, there is a lot of wiggle room in between. I have a good supply of R-22 that I use exclusively in a 25'06AI, and the shot to shot variation (extreme spread) is a little more than with other powders. I have not used it in 30 caliber Magnums, as it is dedicated. But, in the limited experience I have, the powder produces velocities unapproachable with W760 or 4831H. Accuracy is acceptable, but certain other powders with slightly different bullet weights, are superb. For long range work, the substantially higher velocity is a little more important than fractional improvement in accuracy. In other words, it's a judgement call. Good luck with your choice, LB [/QUOTE]
