Same here, full case.

I'm in the process of switching everything over to H322, burn rate is WAYYY better than varget with the shorter barrels

Did you run that load over a chronograph?

I am very interested in the numbers if you have them?

Thanks
 
Thanks for taking note. I am not going anywhere. Maybe if you pass through that box when you are already there for another reason you could take a look.

I am starting a carbine reloading project right now with AA2230 powder also
 
26gr varget 60gr hornady soft point is deadly on coyotes. Last one I hit was 60 yards broad side quarter sized exit. Small entry. Super accurate out of 18" BHW 1:8 twist barrel

Glad to hear. Sounds like you and I aren't the only ones who shoot lights out with that exact combo.

I have run the 60gr Hornady SP over 23-24gr of IMR4064, with Winchester Small Rifle primers.

With the 23gr powder charge I was getting 2654-2767fps across the chronograph.

Hope those numbers help. Great accuracy. Easy sub MOA out of my 18in 1:8 stainless barrel.

Sounds like you are getting some great recipes. Thanks to everyone for sharing.
