OK, I loaded a couple of H32s w/60,70 and 80% of max H4895 as shown in the Hodgdon table (29gr.), and shot them through the cronograph. 2,250, 2,640 and 3,110+/-. No high pressure signs or anything like that. I want something around 3,000, so I loaded three each of 21.4, 8, 22.2, 6 and 23.0. Groups ...

I want to load some lower power .204 cartridges. I see on the IMR load data page that they say you can use H4895 at 60%+ of the max powder charge. Just want to get something down around 2800 fps or so to cut the recoil to the point where I can see the hit on the target. I'm shooting a CZ American wh...

I have a CZ American. My best results are with 32s using H335 and Benchmark. I don't have much luck with 35s or 39s.
