RE: Need help?
Handloader1,
Thanks for checking. I went to Hodgens website and read their write up about " loading down" loads. They say to use this specific powder because it burns slower and ignites uniformly in reduced loads.
I have a load w/ this particular powder but it is w/ a 140 gr bullet. I would like to use this powder and a 100gr bullet for strictly plinking and practicing off hand shooting.
Basically Hodgens theory of loading down is to find a load using this particular powder. Take the max charge and multiply it by 60%. " The shooter can create a load 1500 to 2100 fps."
ex. H4895 42.6 gr. 140gr bullet
reduced= H4895 25.6gr. 140 gr. bullet
My old load for my 100 gr spire point was:
H4871 59.2 gr.
If this works right I can shoot twice as much at the same price.
