N160 vs. H4831SC

[hoosiergc]

Due to the sometimes limited availability of the VV line of powders, I have decided to switch from N160 to H4831SC in my 6mm-22-250. I am currently using 36.8 grs of the VV, and it looks like the H is pretty much a one to one swap,weight wise). Any experiences or advice would be appreciated. I use this rifle strictly for 600yd mid-range matches. I am looking for advice due to the fact that I have never used H4831SC, and data for this cartridge is a little sparse. TIA

P.S. I put this on the 6mm forum but this seems to be the better place!,duh!)

I have used both powders in a .260 Rem and found 4831sc a little slower than VV160 and a touch more difficult to ignite. If you go for 4831sc and have the odd vertical, try a magnum primer. For me the powder gave it's best with the bullets into the lands 4 thou.
Powder performance is not linear however and one should approach with caution as your caliber is 6mm
