bobnob, I had tried the H 4198 when I first got the gun. In fact it was the first powder I tried. I seemed to have more recoil than the 4064. I still have some on the shelf. I'll have to give it another try.

Jerry, I am not that surprised 4198 generated more recoil than 4064. 4064 will not generate anywhere near the velocity as 4198 will before you run out of case capacity.

A full house load of 4064 according to my manuals (4064 is not available here) will generate around 300fps less MV than 4198. Somewhere in between is that trajectory you seek.

I guess that is the tradeoff; recoil vs velocity. 56g of the faster powder was (I found) not too bad on the shoulder. Boost that up to 60g which is the manual maximum however, and it is quite the bruiser!:eek:

I'd say you are right. :D Look at the pressure difference. WOW! :eek:
