[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2722281, member: 121268"] Im loading 140g AH in a 280AI with H4350, its not fast enough burn rate is probably why most Hammer reloaders arent using it. I hit pressure before I hit the higher velocities Absolute Hammers are known for, but I still have a safe respectable velocity for a 280 ....sometimes we have to use what we have on hand. Gone are the days when you could buy 1lb of powder just to try and expect it to be in stock later to buy if it worked out. The Hammers dont line up with conventional load data because the radius drive bands greatly reduce friction going down the bore, so if the powder doesnt burn fast enough it gets wasted trying to charge more of it to get velocity.
