h414 &204

Post by bugman70 »

Has anyone used H414 to load the 204. I have some left from my 243 but i can't find load data for it anywhere. May be a reason for that. I have varget also but it is difficult to load due to the large size of the powder. I'm 60 miles from the nearest powder so trying to use what I have.Thanks

Using the Lapua/Vihtavouri burn chart, H414 is pretty slow. Varget is about as slow as a powder shown on the Hodgdon website.

Here is the link to the burn rate chart:
