[QUOTE="morcey2, post: 1046408, member: 71004"] I've worked up some loads with it using 165 gr BTSP and CCI 250 (large rifle magnum) primers. It is very accurate, but it's too temperature sensitive for me. I don't have the exact numbers but I lost close to 100 fps between the initial load development, done in late June when the temp was around 90*, and later pre-season testing. That was done in the early october when the temps were anywhere between 30* and the mid 50s. POI shifted less than 2" (lower) at 200 yards, but enough to cause concern. If you're going to be shooting at a consistent temperature, it's a great powder. If not, H4350 is the one to get. I've found a couple of pounds of it over the last several months so that's what I'm using instead. IMR-4064 is available just about everywhere out here right now in both 1 lb and 8 lb containers. It's my go-to powder in most of my current rifle loads. It's somewhat temp sensitive, but no where near what H414 is. That will probably be available soon, depending on where you are. Matt [/QUOTE]
