Personall couldnt tell ua what Hornady has, I purchased Norma match 130 otm to break mine in and fire form brass.
What I can tell you is CCI 200, 47-48 gr of Rl26, topped with 143 eldx. Shoots real good.

Thanks, I'm trying to find a good load to us with h4350 and the 143 eldx bullets.

I have about 3/4's of a lb of H4350, it's just to hard to come by around these parts. Didnt want to try load development with a powder I probably won't be able to get when I need it.

I just bought 6 lbs. today from the local gunshop at 30.00 a pound.

Start around 40 and work up. The max is the same as listed for the 140 ELD at 41.5grns. You can start lower but I wouldn't want to waste too much H4350.

Thanks for the information.

I read somewhere, that the load info on the box, is what is in thst particular loaded ammo.
The only diff, is that the factories have a different grade, of whatever powder may be listed, especially superformance.

I got a box , muzzle velocity is 2700fps. Doesn't list powder info like they did with the amax.

I was wondering that as I didn't have a box of the Precision Hunter but knew Hornady had pulled the "Recommended Load" off the other ammo as people were pulling bullets and calling and saying that that wasn't the load in the ammo and it wasn't. Hornady stopped using H4350 around 2012 in the AMAX loads but left the recommended load. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Hornady uses a powder that isn't available to handloaders in the ELD-M loads now.

The Superformance sold is not the same used in ammo. Hornady uses about 6-8 different blends in the ammo they sell and the powder sold by Hodgdon is only one blend so never pull a superformacne load and weigh the powder and then use the Powder sold by Hodgdon.
