[QUOTE="jsmitt6, post: 2177365, member: 116361"] Hi All. Got back from the range. Here is the range report for H4350 shooting the 250 Berger Elite Hunter at an COAL 2.950. I used CCI 250 Magnum Rifle Primers. I was not finding any heavy bolt lift on any of these loads or primer cratering/ejector marks. I am also using the ADG brass. I was really wanting to get up to 2800 FPS, and believe that I could with a heavier load charge, but I fell in love with the accuracy of the 62 grain. I will be at 2725 fps for muzzle velocity and that gives me out to 1,050 yards to retain 1800 fps for proper expansion, well beyond what I typically shoot game at (usually a 500-600 yard kind of guy). I wanted to drop this here to piggy back on what Ruby had a few pages ago, in case anyone wanted to try H4350 and what they can expect for velocity. Below are some of the groups I shot this morning. The first one that is labelled 61.5 is actually the 62 grain group. 3 shots in one ragged hole! Easily best group I have ever shot. I only did 3 round groups for this due to limited supplies of powder, primers, and bullets. 55.5grains 2429 2358 2409 56 grains 2440 2430 2444 56.5 grains 2433 2425 Error 57 grains 2450 2482 2485 57.5 grains 2540 2535 2414 58 grains 2566 2510 2485 58.5 grains 2610 2600 2590 59 grains 2588 2597 2575 59.5 grains 2627 2635 2615 60 grains 2653 2630 2643 60.5 grains 2683 2660 2673 61 grains 2680 2694 2698 61.5 grains 2718 2700 2700 62 grains 2716 2730 2733 [/QUOTE]
