50 cal h4198 load for 250 grain hornady

[4wayhunter]

I see on the load page i can use h4198 for my savage at 70 grains but are there any more loads listed somewhere using h4198. if not anybody using it have any problems with it at say under 70grains.

Very low peak pressure. Bad choice for a 250gr bullet in a 50cal. Might work as a main in duplex load? Something like 10gr N110/55gr H4198?

X2 for what 120 said.

I have found that 4198 in IMR or H to be not dependable in a 50 with anything less than 300 grain TIGHT LOADING saboted boolits. 4198 is great in my 45s but I am using ReL 7 in my 50s now. I use mostly 300X458 bullets and I aint risking a FTF on deer. The 325 grain FTX Hornady and heavier give good ignition with 4198 but for 300 and under I suggest using a duplex with suitable ignition powder.

This reflects my experience and opinion. Others will differ. 10

Yeah, if i was going to use 4198 as a single it would more than likely be with a 325gr-350gr bullet. Re7 is great with a 300gr even for mildish loads. Goes boom every time. 4198 and 300gr is for da big boomas which i dont find pleasant to shoot.

I have had my sml 10 ml2 for 15 years and always used 250 grain shockwave with 67 grains of h4198 and always had good accuracy, no misfires

I would disagree.  I have shot 250 gr bullets at 2,800 fps at 80 gr H4198 in several seasons with no ignitions issues at all in very low temps.  Maybe a tight fit is a factor.  In many years I have always wondered about the folks having issues with H4198 as a single.  Not one issue.

I now use a 325 ftx and 70 gr H4198 and still great results.  Your mileage may vary.  15 years track record in north east and I am confident.
