[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1616224, member: 109862"] That would be a waste of powder. Way to slow a burn rate. I’ve found that using powders that are much to slow for the cartridge they’re in results in excessive barrel fouling (doesn’t burn clean) and filthier cases too as the pressure to properly obturate and seal the chamber is not fully realized. My experience with this was using h-50bmg in a 300 win mag. Like you, I got it cheap and wanted to use it. Accuracy was actually very good, but it only drove 208 hornadys to 2600 or so with over 80 grains heavily compressed. Horrible recoil and blast for 30-06 performance. Also, you mention how the 243 and 260 use the same case...that doesn’t matter really. It’s not about case capacity alone, it’s much more about the ratio of case capacity to bore diameter. [/QUOTE]
