Anybody using H4198

[1holeaddict]

My local shop sent my powder order home with a friend and instead of H4895 they put H4198 in the bag. I have never used H4198 and was wondering what it is intended for and what type of results does it give.

I use it my 223 with 52, 53 gr bullets.
Its a 700 20" tac.
Shoot good with this combo.

fast burn rate
most used in the .30 BR

222 223 50 gr bullets, works great with 55, 58 gr in 6 BR

I use it in 7.62x39 & 30ppc. Excellent accuracy & better velocity than anything else that I've tryed.

33.4 grains in my 30br seems to make X's seem easy.

33.4 grains in my 30br seems to make X's seem easy.

Somebody let that one out of the bag several years ago. Now everybody shoots it!! But I been foolin around with RE7 in the 30BR. Not ready to switch yet.

Add the 45-70 to the list. Works great for 300gr -405gr bullets.

 

[DCRYDER]

Good in 50cal smokeless muzzleloaders too.

Excellent powder for reduced loads in a 30-06. 35 grs. of 4198 with a 150 gr. bullet will equal 30-30 ballistics. A very accurate, low recoiling load combination. This came from an article in a back issue of "The American Rifleman", so it's not something I'm making up.

I've used it in my 03's and an original 03-A4 with great success.

In my .444 Marlin
240gr JHP
over 44.4 gr IMR-4198
WLR primer

sub MOA @100y not real fast but highly accurate.

 

[XTR]

Add the 45-70 to the list. Works great for 300gr -405gr bullets.

I can second this with 405s

30X44 and 30BRs love it.

 

[M-61]

My favorite for .222 @ 52gr Sierra HPBT. Seems unaffected by temperature extremes.

 

[lrgoodger]

When loaded behind 55 grain bullets for .223, it would not cycle my AR-15. Too fast.

 

[stacy]

I also use it in a 223 with 50gr vmaxs good stuff

Makes the 45-70 a "cannon" to say the least. Check Hodgdon's website for load data. T>S>

H4198 works great in my 6.8SPC barrel.

 

[Islander]

Has worked great in 38-55 leverguns since I tried it a long time ago.

My main powder for the 20 Vartarg and 30BR.

I use some re7 too, but H4198 works better over a larger temperature range.
