The stuff is awesome!
I loaded a variety of rounds pushing 100gr. Speer Boat tail soft points.
I got sub MOA accuracy out of 3 different charges - very unusual 42.5, 43.0 and 43.5gr. I may have also had a sub MOA out of 42.gr.
I switched to H4350. I got sub MOA @38.5gr of that load. The Howa 1500 shot freakin great. I hit a Dorrito bag that was out in the field (shooting in wide open, plowed fields) First guess was approx 500 - shot over it. Used the 400yd crosshair for my 2nd. Shot under. Split the difference and pegged the bag. Drove out to it while my bud stayed behind - he ranged me at 436yds. I was using the truck door for a rest, and the charge was 43.0 gr that I had loaded extras of to foul the barrel between cleanings.
This gun is a tack driver.
Another point of interest is that the stuff meters great. The variation between charges is so minute, that If I needed to load some of these rounds in a hurry, I could do so with confidence and not worry having inconsistant rounds. I'm currious how it handles on a hot day. Time will tell. This is great powder. I'm loading 50 @ 42.50 gr. as we speak.
