Scot 4197 vs H4198 in 30 BR?

[PA Jeep]

I'm almost out of H4198 and have a buddy that has lots of Scot 4197. Is this a viable choice for my 30 BR or is it too slow with 118gr bullets? Thanks

The Scot Brigadier powders are generally 1 to 2 grains FASTER than their analogs. They are made from nitro cotton, single base, cool and clean burning. Would be worth a try. Just start low, chronographing as you work up.
I've used 3032 extensively in a short 22 PPC wildcat in formal benchrest competition with good results.

Lee is spot on, I shot a lot of 4197 and it is indeed hotter 4198. I used it in a 6ppc in the ninety's and did well with it. Then you could buy 8 lbs for $60.00.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

I still use it in my 6PPC and it is the one to beat in my rifle.

I'm still using a bunch of 3032 and 4351. The 3032 is great in the 223 with 55gr and I used to use it in 6PPCs. Great in either one. Just work up to load.4351 similar to H4350, faster in some cartridges and slower in others. Both are very clean burning and tend to first line accuracy.

I have Brigadier 3032 and Scot Powder Co, Reloading manual #3 1990. This is what post about Brigadier 4197. A quick but cooler burning single base tubular rifle powder appr 1-2 gr slower than IMR-4198/H-4198. Very similar in burn rate to Reloader 7
