H4350 OBSESSION?

[BP1]

H4350 is a very flexible powder. Think about this, you can use it in everything from the 6 Dasher thru .300WSM and almost everything in between! So the competitive shooters can use it in a wide array of cartridges not to mention all the hunters who use it in their rifles! With such a wide ranging use, it's no wonder there is a shortage!

Hell i'm gonna have to give a +1 on that.

It's marketed really well for one, as are all the Hodgkin Extreme powders.

Secondly it's a good all around powder.

Is it better, on average, than IMR 4350 or IMR 4451? Nope.

While visiting Anniston Alabama and the Talladega marksmanship Park recently I stopped in at Creedmoor. They gave us a tour of the facility and we soon entered the reloading room where their 6.5 Creedmoor ammo, along with all other ammo they sell, was being manufactured. The head reloader was very open with info. I then asked the Million dollar question, "what type of powder are you using in the Creedmoor 6.5 loaded ammo" thinking he'd never tell me. Without hesitation and after he told us they had tested all of the appropriate powders in the burn rate for that caliber and after testing in different temperatures, climates, testing for ES and SD, group size, speed, covering all of the paramaters, etc., the winner was ....................Reloader 17. To answer the original question, I don't jump on the band wagon just because someone shot a good group with a certain powder. Creedmoors results were gathered using several different rifles. The ammo they produce has to work in anything chambered in that caliber because once it leaves the factory, it could go (and probably will go) into any rifle configuration.
