I think you may be right about that. However H4831 and H-1000 are pretty close to each other. With H-1000 being a little bit slower burning. However Hodgdon on their reloading site shows 3.5 more grains of H-1000 to achieve 2900 FPS like the H4831 does.
They list that load as max. But that does not come near the 3200 fps that people say they are getting froam a 140 grain pill. This is what I am talking about when I say that I can not understand the reloading manuals.
How long has H-1000 beenn around?? I might try to find it in some of my older load books. I wonder how much discrepancy I will find there?? I even thought about RL 22. I believe, but am not sure that RL 25 would be too slow?? Too bad they don't make an RL 23-1/2.
