As many posters have gathered I'm building my first long range deer and coyote gun, this site has helped me decide my barrel choice(Criterion) and caliber(284). Now I'm trying to figure this out, any guidance will be appreciated. In researching a powder starting point for loads I see H4350 and H4831 mentioned the most.
Heres the reason for my question, I have a lot of IMR4350 on hand as its the powder of choice in my 7mm-08 and 260. I know the H4350 is more temp tolerant but wonder if working up a load with the powder I have (IMR4350) would be very similar to the H4350. I would figure that temp consistency would be quite important to target shooters but not as much to me. I intend to work up my initial load with 140gr accubonds, my hunting bullet of choice, I already use and have lots of 210M's and BR2's in stock. Honestly I'm at the bottom on funds and still need dies and brass yet, so honest opinions is what I need. The barrel will be 1-9 twist 26" varmint contour. Dave...…... Oh and Merry Christmas to all
