Let’s see those Smokeless builds!!

So, what's the opinion here - can one safely deduce that, if 2 powders are the top dogs for one caliber, and one of those powders is top dog for another caliber, does it follow that the second powder would probably also be equally good for that other caliber?

Looks like guys are recommending that N133 be used for 300gr bullets and up…

Does anyone have experience with Vihtavouri powders? Thinking N133 or N135 may be a good alternative based on burn rate charts.

N133 | Hank's Message Board

Anyone tried vihtavuori n133 and 300gr and above bullets? By powder burn chart it’s between reloder 10X and Benchmark. Thanks

H322 and Imr 8208 dont exists in todays world. Looks like i will be stuck with imr 4198 as i have 8 lb of it coming.

My LGS has both 8 pounders and 1 pounders of H322 on their shelves right now. I "played the game" on Powder Valley's website for IMR 8208 XBR a couple nights ago……and lost. Just wasn't quick enough.
Your bullet weight will dictate what powder(s) you'll be using. As far as IMR 4198 is concerned as long as you're shooting 250gr-275gr bullets you'll be gold.

I wont be shooting anything under 300 gr. Mcwhorter will be working up loads for 325 pittmans. They use 2 powders H4895 for THE BIG LOAD at 3100 fps and use imr 4198 for 2750 fps all with 325 gr pittmans. This is their standard loads they do for the 45xml.

I was looking at the description for H322. I've only bought it and used it for my SML. I have a couple pounds of it, bought this year, so it must be somewhat obtainable. It says it's the top powder for 6PPC. Back when I was shooting benchrest, the top 6PPC powder was V-V N133. I don't know if this correlation can be made, but if H322 is what Arrowhead recommends for my SML, and H322 and N133 are considered the top powders for one thing (6PPC), one MAY be able to safely deduce that they are equally comparable for another thing - 45 cal SML. If so, I've got about 20 pounds of that stuff, and PowderValley has it in stock right now, in both 1# and 8#.

So, what's the opinion here - can one safely deduce that, if 2 powders are the top dogs for one caliber, and one of those powders is top dog for another caliber, does it follow that the second powder would probably also be equally good for that other caliber?

Can this be run through the simulator apps?
Gordon's Reloading app, and the other commercial one, the name is excaping me right now...

Blackhorn is/was at most Wal-Marts but in 8oz bottles, not 10oz.

Good luck finding the IMR8208xbr and the H4895. I guess I missed some H4895 the other day

I happened upon three 10 oz. bottles of 209 in my LGS a few days ago and grabbed them up for another member on here. DANG that stuff ain't cheap!

Nope

That's a FORTUNE sitting on THAT table! I'd be storing that in a gun safe surrounded by Claymore mines.
