[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1721153, member: 307"] I'd say so. I just don't give H1000 its due and hardly ever buy or load/shoot it. Seems I have tried every powder out there for the .300 class of cartridges and the first time I tried H1000 (8/7/2010) I shot a 3-shot group at 100yds that measured .142". This was using the 190gn SMK's, velocity averaged 3078fps, ES was 7.83 and SD was 4.12. According to Nosler's #8 the load I'm speaking of (79gn) is the max load listed but I wasn't using the #8 in 2010. Either way it was safe in my rifle at that time and I went up to 80.5gn. 79.5gn had better velocity (3112), ES (4.80) and SD (2.64) and accuracy was still .522". I loaded the rest of the 190's with 79.5gn, shot them at targets, no doubt, but never bought either (190gn SMK / H1000) again? Some new jet fuel rocket powder obviously came along and diverted my attention. In reality though I think I went to a heavier class of bullet (208/210gn). Not sure if Hodgdon has slowed H1000 down since that time. I say "give it a whirl"! Good luck and be safe. [/QUOTE]
