[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 522344, member: 14209"] 13point, When developing my load data, I like to use the powder manufacturers data. I generally will use Hodgdon.com . I also will use Quickload data (my friend has a copy) especially for my wildcat cartridges as it gets me close and keeps me within safe limits. Then I will start my load development going in 1/2g increments until I find my rifles sweet spot. It sounds to me that .45" is your rifles sweet spot. Remember, Accuracy always trumps velocity! I've shot some of my best groups prone using a bi-pod and a rear bag. It's a very natural way to shoot. I've also taken almost all of my game in the last 10 years using a bipod. I even shoot chucks laying in the grass shooting prone. I's my favorite way to shoot. Most of my experience with H414 has leaned me towards heavy charges. infact I had gotten the best accuracy with the .30-06 with maximum loads. H380 is a good powder, don't overlook Hodgdon's BL-C(2), It too is a ball powder, not the fastest, but very consistant. H4350 shows the highest velocity, and if you can group it well.....It would be hard to beat. Have Fun! Dan [/QUOTE]
