[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 3003931, member: 115819"] I wish I knew more about the VV powders, I keep forgetting that's on my list. I didn't try them at the start because I couldn't even steal saum data for it. For me it's been 4831sc doing the best work for any lead, and now rl16 for the 140 absolute hammers. I tried the IMR "h1000" 7877 or whatever. weak performance all around, especially with the 175 which is what I got it for. The 4831 outran it and outshot the slower powder. The best optimizing I got out of mine was the 168 ABLR at 2875 or so, I could fill that to a very light crunch with h4831 sc and not get pressure, that was jumping .100 and COAL of 2.93. Accuracy was good enough, and mathematically that was peak ballistics for my gun. People do much better in other actions, but that's what I got. That was about half a grain off loosening pockets, pretty flat primers. Good point about the ball powders, I was thinking about it for my new 25-06, didn't even consider the 7! I stumbled across the new HD the other day, didn't know it existed, and I'm really curious to give that a taste. But it might be pointless, the limitation is my soft action not case capacity. But in stronger guns I bet it's going to have the goods. I love what I have but I'd love to get this cartridge in a stronger action and let it eat. [/QUOTE]
