There are old postings with this powder. Does not seem to be much info on the Hodgon site. Want to use it in my .300 H & H with 180 grain bullets. Any input on it?
Anyone use Hybrid 100 V Powder

I've used some in my 6CM with 115 gr bullets. Got results that had decent velocity. Probably one of the better alternatives to H4350. But I just seem to always come back to RL 16 and H4350 in my 6 and 6.5 CM's.

I use it in my 7/08 with 145 gr bullets. Good velocity (2950+) and .75 MOA. My go to powder for this cartridge. JMO

I have a 7-08 and 2lbs of H100V...hmm
I tried H100V in .243 WIN with 105gr Amax. I thought it was a bit high pressure for the velocity.

I used the 145 Speer SBT and worked up to 49 grs. In my 24" barrel I got 2992 ft/sec and with the same load only with the 145 Speer GS I got 2912 ft/sec. Both gave me .75 MOA.
Works great in my 257 Roberts with 120 Speer SPBT's. Wish I could find some more! I have a feeling 2 lbs won't last til things loosen up.

Tried it in a 6.5 with 140 grain Berger hybrids. Worked very well at cold temps up north. Took it to Arizona and I thought my scope was broken. Dial and nothing. Dial again and a massive jump. Repeat that over a couple times and you know it's a scope problem. Get back up here and try it in warmer temps. Nope, not the scope. Groups were like buck shot out of a shot gun. Gave up on it. I'm sure it does have an application it just did not work for me in that application.

I bought some of the 100V several years ago to try in my .300 H&H which I wanted to use for an elk hunt. This is a pre-64 Model 70 so I had no intentions of running lightspeed loads. I did run the Nosler 180 gr. Partition which is/was a standard of excellence. I tested this load to yield a moderate 2980 fps. One shot, one elk at 278 lasered. I was just a pinch high so it took out the entire top of the heart. Like the first one I shot, he turned, wobbled and collapsed.
I did try some Berger 180 gr. Elite Hunter but I wasn't as enamored with the accuracy from my older rifle. Newer barrel, different load might be just the ticket!
Enjoy!
I also tested the 100V in my vintage 7x61 Super S&H with a Hornady 139 gr. BTSP. This is a 1:12" twist so the lighter bullet was required. This is a combination I intend to carry at some point.
I just tapped into a random 1lb canister I had laying around to use in a hunting load for my step dad and I’s 243. seems to be working well and producing good velocities with a 90 grain eldx. don’t have much else to say besides that.
Rationing it pretty close on this side of the river.
