[QUOTE="Power, post: 998339, member: 1759"] Here's my results trying 3 different powders, shooting Norma brass, Fed 215M primers, Nosler 165g Accubond bullet. * 1. R-17 - No combination of powder charge and OAL seemed to work well. * 2. H380 - Again, no combination I tried could produce a good group. Plus the fine powder is more difficult to work with, slight breeze from breathing too heavy and powder is blown around. * 3. IMR 4350 - BINGO! 66g of this powder and OAL 2.930" has me shooting under 2" groups at 200 yards and one group around 1" at 200 yards. Looks very promising and will hunt with this load starting Saturday. * I'm reading good things from the forums here that H4350 is better so will try that next and see how it works. Too bad you can't buy powder in 2oz bottles to try it. * Any suggestions on more accurate primers? * [/QUOTE]
