Title: Re: IMR 4350 Post by psteinmayer on Oct 21st, 2019 at 9:47pm
I use my Hornady 9th and 10th editions as my bibles. I have the Lyman manuals too, but I take them with a grain of salt. When comparing the Lyman manual to Hornady, Speer, Nosler and some other data, the Lyman data can vary quite a lot, and sometimes, their listed data is much higher than the others. FWIW, I use Lyman data for cast bullets as gospel, and the Hornady, Nosler and Speer data for jacketed.
I imagine that IMR-4350 with such a large load (compressed no less) with a 110 grain bullet would leave a huge amount of unburned powder exiting the barrel. Seems a little wasteful. I would think a faster powder, one that burns completely before the bullet exits the muzzle would be more practical provided you remain under 40,000 CUP. BTW, IMR-4831 is slower than IMR-4350... however there are some fairly accurate data for 4831. Hodgdon H4831SC is comparable in burn rate... and because it's a "Short Cut" powder, it meter's very well. There are even slower burning IMR powders (IMR-7828 and IMR-7828SSC) but I think they're way to slow to be effective in a Krag. |
