lets talk powder.....

[WesF]

I use CFE223 for my 32gr V-max loads & IMR 4895 for my 39gr Blitz King loads. It seems like my Savage model 12 likes these particular powder/bullet combinations. I use the 32gr loads for targets,prairie dogs & other small vermin & the 39gr loads for predators.

Reloader-10X and Ramshot Xterminator have both worked very well for me. However, I currently find myself with an excess of H4895, so I'm going to try to work up a good 39gr SBK load for 2018.

im finding my cz likes cfe 223 with 32 and 39 grain pills ,lot easier to clean.i like 8208 xbr but its better in my 22-250.
Bill K. kinda said id like cfe 223 n dang he is right

[Bill K]

I know I am really starting to settle into CFE223, Imr4831, AA 2200, 1680 & CFE Blk, for all may small calibers, 17 to 224. Finding loads that work well as for FPS and accuracy. By doing this I am cutting down the amount of powders I had on hand and just stocking on these and keeping satisfied with them. Bill K

im thinking less varitys n more of what works.hate the idea of 10 calibers n 10 diffrent powders. but 22 hornet,lil gun,204 r -cfe 223,22-250-8208 xbr and 45 colt unique.but im using the 8208 up in the 22-250 then seeing how cfe 223 works in it too

Having good success with RL 15 and really like H335 through the Dillon with super accuracy!!

i have heard comments about reloaders not liking some powders such as 4024, 4198 4831. i have a redding powder measure and if i find that the powders are getting sheared i have found that if i use a very quick stroke of the charging handle that i never have any trouble throwing a charge. sometimes when i pour powder into the hopper that i have added more than what i need for this loading session i can merely very quickly operate the lever and can run 20 or 30 charges through the powder measure and never have one hesitation . it works for me try it you might like it.

i have shot in my savage model 12 25 grains of h-322 into a group less than one tenth of an inch using 39 sbk bullets

[Bill K]

Let's see some of those tight groups, some are talking about, scored and put into the monthly 204 shoot. Bill K

[BitterClinger]

Given the tiny bore and potential for very high pressures, should a slower powder be a better selection than the faster burn rates? I'm fairly new to this caliber is why I ask.

[Hippy]

H 4895, Benchmark & R-10 have been my best powders in that order-BUTT I only shoot 39 Sierra's

Today my Savage LRPV shot a .140" group center to center @ 100M using 32 VMax in Hornady cases, COL 2.245", WSR primer, and 27.4 gn H4895. I have tried all the featured powders, but so far nothing I have tried can beat the H4895. I want to try the Reloader 10X, but cannot find it .
