[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1097947, member: 11960"] I've been running the same 82.3gr of H4350 under a 260/270 grain bullet for the last 7 years in my Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan 20" barrel. I shoot the 260 Accubonds for hunting and the 270 Hornady SP for practice. Both shoot to the same POI out to just past 350 yards which is where I stop with this rifle. The velocities are 2725 for the 270 gr load and 2730 for the 260gr bullet. Brass life is in the 6-7 firings range I imagine. I'm still working on the same 200 pieces of brass that I bought when I got the gun and most of them have 5-6 firings on them now. Reloader 17 may move them faster, but I've seen too many unexpected pressure spikes from Reloader 17 to trust it. Varget would be my next choice behind H4350. I've also played with the 338/375 Ruger more than most people, in 4 different barrels ranging from 18" to 26". H 4350 is my go to powder in that cartridge as well. It gives almost unreal velocities at moderate pressures from the 18" barreled specialty pistol. Again, Reloader 17 is fast but at the price of unpredictable pressures. Andrew [/QUOTE]
