[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2443592, member: 114633"] Magazine length plays an important part in how slow of a powder you can use. Also I'd look at the science of why certain bullets like certain powders more or less. I think this may(I'm still learning too) have more to due with the barrel TIME and barrel NOTE than going from H4350 to 4831. That said H4350 is going to work alot better with 120-130g and you may be able to stuff the case full of H4831ssc or 7828sc without seeing pressure behind a 147, 150, or 156g bullet. Your main problem is going to be getting enough in the case. That's why I all but gave up to n trying to load Re23 behind the 150smk for my shillen barrel (26") I'll probably try it again but the crunchy loads just don't shoot good. As far as going slower maybe look at the slower side of the 4350 burn chart without jumping straight to the 4831 chart. [/QUOTE]
