[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 2074076, member: 90080"] Lance, that's a really a great contribution, as usual. I'm paying close attention to this post, as my 24" 6.5 SS pack rifle is a candidate for the 129 AH. For now I'm running the 156 eol at 62.0 gr N-565 @ 3,040. I had a good visit with Steve today and bought some bullets. Your post is nice concise map for mine w/H-4350. Your work follows the idea that we should use faster powders for top velocities, but I've noted some are sticking with the slower powders and finding good results. Did a little research on burn rates around H-4350 and found these options I have plenty of: #123 RL-16 #124 H-4350 #128 Hybrid 100V #129 StaBALL 6.5 I have lots of Retumbo, RL-26 and N-565, but they are down the list and if it's true, they are probably too slow on the 129 AH. You were going to try N-565, but the chart puts it closer to 570 than 560. I just wondering what powders are the optimal for the AH in different weights in so many cartridges, haha! Based only on what I've read, the lighter cartridges are where it's at. Your 2 cents??? [/QUOTE]
