There seems to be a few similarities as to the criteria for picking a powder.
But all in all it also seems that every ones approach to the powder of choice is individual and that makes sense as to why there are up to 15 choices for calibre and bullet. Thought it could be explained, but each person has his own criteria when it comes to choosing powder.
Thanks for all your input fellow AOer's
Now has anyone experienced trying to follow a Manual or online site as to the amount of a particular powder and being way off?
In particular I was looking at Hodgdon's site for 125 grain .308 using IMR4320. It stated max load of 53.0 grns. I worked up from 44.0 grns.
Well tried 53.0 grns. and it ran out all over my desk. Would have had to tamp it down to get it all in. I stayed at 50.0 grains max and estimate that it was a compressed load.
To me this is a huge error, has anyone else come across this info from manuals or a powder manufacturer?
