[QUOTE="jmden, post: 118186, member: 1742"] Get the slowest powder you can then. Check out: [url="http://www.hodgdon.com/data/general/burnratechart.php"]http://www.hodgdon.com/data/general/burnratechart.php[/url] You can see where the powder you are considering is in relation to the powders being suggested to you. A fair amount of difference generally. I did use VV N560 (equivalent to N160 in burning rate, I understand) in my 300RUM which is closer to the speed of powder you are mentioning--pretty close to 4831 actually. If I recall, I was in the high 80's for grains of powder charge and around 3075fps or so with the 200AB. Start low and work up as always. I like what I'm seeing with US869 much better and the 200AB.
