H4831 and H4831sc what do you use it in?

[bulaman]

I have had very good luck with H4831SC in 284 Win, 6.5x284 and 300 WSM.

 

[wwbrown]

I use the h4831SC, I find it meters a little better for me. I burn in it: 30-06, 25-06, 6.5x55 AI and 280 AI, I always keep at least one unopened jug in reserve as it is a goto powder for me.

 

[Bottom Fodder]

SC in 6.5 x 284

 

[3Ackleys]

It's the best performing powder in my 243 AI, 280 AI, 284 Win., and 416 Rigby.

 

[6ShotsOr5?]

54.7 gr in 284 Win Lapua brass with a 184 gr Berger hybrid bullet.

 

[Bill Norris]

Not quite as fast as H-4350 but dang sure accurate with the 142 gr. Sierras in my 260AI.

 

[BlueWater]

Not quite as fast as H-4350 but dang sure accurate with the 142 gr. Sierras in my 260AI.

What length and twist barrel are you using, for that 260AI?

In the 6.5CM with a 28" 1:8 twist barrel, I have used the 140gr Hornady ELD-M, 140gr Nosler RDF, and 142gr Sierra Match King. (Didn't have many of the 142gr Sierra.) Would love to try the 144gr Berger LR Hybrid Target bullets. I suspect they'll be fairly good with the H4831SC. I seem to get a bit greater accuracy with Alliant Reloder 17, with the 130gr to 142gr bullets, particularly the 140gr Nosler RDF. I'll have to toy with a few ladder tests and seating depths to see what I can squeeze out of the H4831SC.

What length and twist barrel are you using, for that 260AI?

My barrel is 26 inch 1 - 7.5 Tw. Loading 47.5 gr. H-4831.

 

[Plumsask]

Seen 4831 and the sc version available at LGS for $45 and was wondering what you guys have had luck with it in. I was considering picking up some to try in .243 but seems most of the powders I use are coming around except for the price.

It's my #1 in my 6mm AI with the 87 to 105 gr bullets. Low es&sd

 

[243Lapua]

Works perfect with my 243, especially made for heavy bullets. 105gr Berger VLD 1-8 twist Broughton Barrel

 

[JimPag]

I've used H4831 in my 7MM Express Remington since I bought the rifle new in March of 82.

 

[jcm800]

308 norma mag / 200 smk h4831 shoots bugholes. Have some SC, never tried it.

 

[stork]

243, 243AI, 260, 270 7-08AI, 30-06, 300WM.
Works for so many varied calibers, and very well too.

 

[GWY]

Used 4350 in 260 Remingtons with good results. A few years ago tried 4831SC and got even better results. 140 plus grain bullets

4831SC is also what Robert Whitley recommended I use when I had a 6mm SLR (his wildcat) built to shoot 115 DTACs. He was sure right, a great shooting easily tuned combination

 

[MSS]

Love it in .300 wsm and .300 wm.

 

[Ray123]

I use 103 gr of H4831 in 416 Rigby for both 400 gr soft and solids from Barns, shoot close to the same point of impact at 100 yds and nice 1/2" to 3/4" groups 3 shots...about 5 gr over max of the old Rigby loads and low pressures established with very temperature sensitive cordite powders of the day. If I remember correctly these run about 2556 fps ave....and they have plenty of recoil....but you can accurately shoot it in the sitting position to 500 yds, with s little practice. Shot hundreds of these in my younger days...no elephants, but good on lesser game including rabbits and squirrels.

 

[wildcatter]

6x47L, 6mm AI, 243, 257 Roberts AI, 30/05, 300 win mag,
