what powder for 58gr vmax

[tugboater]

I was wondering what powders you guys use for 58gr vmax in 243? I have seen imr 4320 and accurate arme 4350. Hornady says 4320 will work but wanted some opinions. Thanks

I loaded some up with H335 for fire forming new brass to fit chamber. Was very surprised that I got a consistent 1-1/4" group over all but most were with in 1 MOA.

I used imr4064. Worked well for me.

I like the results that I get from Varget.

Is anyone using one 4320? The reason I'm asking is that I found some and its in the load books I have.

I got very good results with H-414 and Varget.

I get .5 inch groups using 40 grains of IMR 4895

My Savage liked Varget the best, but never have found a powder it really liked with that bullet.

Varget and W760/H414 have given me very good accuracy with the Nosler 55gr Btip, with speeds in the mid-3,900fps.

BLC-2 gave me well over 4,000fps but the accuracy wasn't as good.

I've always had the best luck with H4895 in both accuracy and velocity!!!

Same for me.

 

[tugboater]

What about imr 4895?

I am getting good results with H4895 and that bullet.

And that works well for you? I might try that.

I use 45.5 gr H414 under a 55 gr Sierra BK, but 58 gr Vmaxs also shot sub MOA. I reload for a buddy and his rifle shoots 58 gr Vmaxs with 40.0 gr IMR 3031.

I've used IMR 4320 but with 100 gr bullets (37.0) gr.
