[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2382553, member: 116439"] I find it interesting on how Powders work with different calibers and bullet weights. You would think that since the .243, .260, 7mm08, 308 all have the same parent case, but all cannot use CFE 223 or H-4350. You can use CFE 223 in a .308 and .223, but not listed in a .260. We basically purchased CFE-223 to supplement H-4895 in our .204s and .223s. Didn't think about using it in larger calibers when purchasing. I am glad that we stocked up on several different powders since before the Obama admin. We basically bought powders for certain calibers, but there is a lot of cross referring so if you run out of one powder you can use another. H4895 was the "Powder" for the US Government in WWII and used in the 7.62 (.308). Mr. Hodgdon got his start by purchasing a Railroad Car full of surplus 4895 after WII. If it was not for the "Surplus 4895" we wouldn't have Hodgdon powders today. [/QUOTE]
