H414 powder in 30-06
« on: July 09, 2005, 03:53:17 AM »
I just bought the Load Book for 30-06 and noticed that H414 was listed as a powder giving some of the highest velocities for several makes and weights of bullets while data from other manufacturers don't list it at all. The Lyman manual lists it hardly at all while the Lee manual lists it as a top velocity producer for a number of bullet weights. I would like to experiment with it(a pressure series first) but wondered if anyone else had any experience with H414 in 30-06.

I didn't find it the best choice in powders, but data can be found at:

I found H414 to be an excellent powder for the 30-06 pushing 165 grain bullets.  I have also had good results using it to push 80 grain bullets in the .243 Win.
