[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1322597, member: 12193"] I've only tried the 215s in one rifle but I've used 208 Hornadys in several guns with H1000. I have found 2 different accuracy nodes: The high node is between 76 and 78 grains, with most guns liking between 76.8 and 78.0. Velocity is usually 2900-2975. The other node is down around 73-74 grains and ~2750 fps. 3 of the 6 rifles I've loaded for like the 78.0 grain load, one likes 76.8, and one 76.0. The last rifle has a tighter bore and shows pressure signs with 78.0 grains, even though this load is very accurate. With this gun I just load down to 74.0 grains and she's happy. Your load of H4831 might give you over 2800 fps out of a 26" barrel. I would use that load if I were in your shoes. [/QUOTE]
