Guys I was just messing around my reloading stuff and never knew I had a box of .452. 250gr xtps on my shelf buried. Well now I want a cheap to shoot bullet that I can just have fun with. Fps mid 2000's is fine. Any suggestions on powders that work well for this fun adventure?
I have
H4350
Varget
Imr 4198
Imr 7828
Imr4831
MRP
Reloader 25
Retumbo
Benchmark
A little H4227 and H 4198
SR4759
Imr 3031
Accurate 1680
Accurate NO 9
ACCURATE 4100
Ramshot TAC
H LONGSHOT
H LIL-GUN
H110
WINCHESTER STABALL MATCH
WINCHESTER STABALL 6.5
WELL THATS MY LIST. SO WHAT WOULD BE BEST FOR A FUN LOAD.
THANKS
BRIAN

What gun are you shooting? Scout or M700? If a Scout IMR 4198 and H4198 using 65gn max with a 250gn will give you around 2500 fps. Reduce if want less velocity.

If you reduce it too much, you may have to add a wad!

So I'll keep things in the upper 2000 to 3000 I guess I would think your going to exceed your velocity goal by about 250 fps with 65gr of 4198 ?? I believe about 57gr even without a wad should put you at 2500 fps or close to it . I personally dont mind a wool wad because of the accuracy i get shooting reduced with a xtp ?? Thats just me maybe i dunno . X-treme bullets or Berrys i find make excellant plinker practice rounds @ $70ish for 500 that are swedged , then copper plated , and swedged again and shoot good with reduced loads and no wads . They obturate much easier and are accurate . Groundhogs or yotes dont like them much either . Paper gets boring....... X-treme bullets have plated 220gr 40s for about the same price and useages that i like pretty good too . They shoot also in a sabot nicely for a 45 if thats prefered or needed . |
