H414

I used to a long time ago, when I loaded a lot of 22-250 and 308, it was great for both, that and BL-C(2). I have tried both for the calibers I have now, neither worked very well, for the short action calibers I have now.
Those two were very close in performance, as far as accuracy, velocity variation and then the velocity numbers I got. I think I got around 15 to maybe 30 fps more with H414 over BL-C(2).

I'm having good luck with this ball powder in the .308 with 150 gr Nosler BST bullets.
