    Some help understanding short-cut powders

    Having used a good deal of H4831 and its SC version, I can find no difference in accuracy or velocity. Data really is interchangeable, at least with the lot numbers I have used to date. Been using the original version since '65. My recent experience with 7828 and the SSC version is very limited...

    H4831 vs H4831SC

    Been using H4831 since the mid-'60s and didn't try H4831SC until a few years ago. I have used a good bit of each now, but pretty much in only two cartridges: .25-06 & .270. I can tell no difference in accuracy, velocity, or charge weights. Even the SC version is coarse, but I suppose it goes...

    x-die I don't understand exactly how the die works, but I bought one several years ago in .220 Swift. I followed the directions and it works very well.

    H414

    I have also heard of H414 being temperature sensitive and that may well be. Most of my chronographing has been done in temperatures between 60 and ninety degrees; velocities may be noticeably lower as temperature decreases. I have used much of this powder for years in both my .22-250 and .220...

    magnum primers

    Win 760 and H414 are the same powder and I've used much of it over the past twenty years or so in both the .22-250 and the .220 Swift with bullets in the 50-to 55-grain weight range. I have always suspected lot-to-lot variation with this powder is somewhat greater than with many others but I...
