H4350 works good with the 280 AI in the lighter bullets, say under 160.I've got a limited amount of RL23 to try. I'll see if my rifle likes it better than the 4831 that I got marginal results with.
Im getting about 3100fps with a 140g AH with H4350. Kinda dissapointed... but I hit pressure around 3200H4350 works good with the 280 AI in the lighter bullets, say under 160.
I hit pressure with absolute 140 at 3300, but my best groups were at just under 3200. All three browning did the same thing. Brass life is much better at under 3200 too.Im getting about 3100fps with a 140g AH with H4350. Kinda dissapointed... but I hit pressure around 3200

I got an extra 100 fps with 130 absolute hammers and I can attest that they performed well on two cow elk. Shot placement was slightly off on both animals, but neither moved or took another step after being hit. A friend borrowed my spare rifle for one and I used my primary rifle. Both shots were over 350 yds. I have been using Nosler brass as it is available, but I hear Peterson brass is much better at not showing pressure at elevated velocities.I expected to hit at least 3300 but had a sticky extraction as I approached there.
26in bbl, very dissapointed. Not certain at all why based on others experiences.
Im settling with a safe load at 3100fps and calling it good. All I can do.
Im too invested in the 140s to switch for a mere velocity gain. Its interesting that im using Nosler brass.... Ill keep an eye out for Peterson but feel im very lucky to even have any brass right now.I got an extra 100 fps with 130 absolute hammers and I can attest that they performed well on two cow elk.

Wonder if the Petersen brass and H100V is making the difference for me? I was totally shocked at the velocity I got out of a 23" barrel. Defiance Deviant and good brass I'm sure also help.Im too invested in the 140s to switch for a mere velocity gain. Its interesting that im using Nosler brass....
