Good Load 5-17-2011

[herman]

Last week I had posted about trying IMR4759 as a booster and it worked pretty well with H322 and a 200 xtp.
I didn't shoot but 7 shots today with the muzzleloader,I had some other rifles to test some loads in and the rain was coming.These were at 300yds and it took 4 to get the scope on paper.Richard helped me get it dialed in on a clay bird.
I tried the I4759 at 10grs under H322 at 60 grs.And got a 1 1/4 in group.Today was useing the 200 sst's.,and win 209's.
Then talked Richard into shooting the bottom group useing my rifle.
He shot the I4759 at 15 grs under H322 at 60 grs.
We are going to try some more with this load next week in his and my rifle.
I am beginning to like the 4759 as a booster too.One thing it is cheaper and easier to find and so far works as good as the N110 and n120.
We beat the rain at the range but I dropped the target going into the house so its a little hard to make out.

Looking good Ya'll, any guess at the FPS?

Not too shabby shooting ( WOW )

Not herman, but I suspect it is 3k fps +- a little bit

edge.

WAIT a minute.....did Richard only shoot 4 shots ;D

Herman ,
That must be a good load to work with , submoa at 300 is hard to argue with!!! 4198 has been the talk for so long I went and got some. NOW h322 looks to be a great duplex main,you guys are draining me,but thats ok . I will gladly walk the trail you pioneers are blazing,lol. Herman looks like you were the man that day,but it was your gun also,lol. The next range visit should
give you a better idea of how good of load it really is. Good luck and thanks for the post,i'm going to the powder store in the morn.

Im guessing 2850-2900.

Them are some pretty groups. Richard are you sure it was a real 300 yards? just kidding.

[herman]

Last week I shot the 200xtp's and shot 5 shots with each group.Today used the 200sst at 300 yds.
I4759/H322
10/60 = 2678fps at 100yds Today-2680 fps shooting at 300 yds.

15/60= 2870 fps Today-2824 fps.

There is a copy of my range sheet and pic of the 100yd targets under post:

Yes, Mr. Edge..........only three shot ;D It was Herman's gun and we were about finished up! You should have heard Herman when I suggested he put two more in his group!!!!!!!!!!! "No way!" he said ;D
