What Powder

[Dukkilr]

I'm looking for some powder options for our encore arrowhead smokless muzzys. We have been shooting H4198 but are out and none can be found. A buddy had switched to H4895 and likes it better but it also is no where to be found. I was thinking about trying hodgon Varget but heard it gets goofy with big tempature swings.

I plan on trying IMR4198 with my smokeless muzzleloader.

N120 is comparable to 4198

wonder if any "Shooter's World" products would fit the bill

SOCOM or Buffalo Rifle. Ive been looking out for some Buffalo Rifle to try out. But the socom is listed as similar to 4198.

RL7 will work for you also

Yes, H4895, N120, N110, I4198, H322, RL7 and depending on what velocity you’re looking for, 5744 and 2015 are all potential options I’d say.

I have been shooting some groups with Acc4064. It is a slower powder but ignites easily and produces relatively low pressures.

I shot some groups with a 200 gr. TC 40 cal. bullet in the Harvester HP 40 cal. to 45 cal. sabots with 90 gr. Acc 4064.

QuickLoad gave a pressure estimate of about 21,000 psi, but the velocity measured by my chronograph indicated a pressure of closer to 24,000 psi. The velocity was around 2800 fps.

If you have a heavy barrel, you can stand higher pressures.

IMR4198 is pretty close to H4198.

N120 works just back it down a few grains .

What are you trying to accomplish? Bullet weights? Sabotless or sabots? Need more details....

 

[DannoBoone]

What LBAhunter said. A light weight bullet in a sabot can use powders that would be dangerous with a 300 grain bullet.
Need more info.

What's the max load for the N120 in an Encore Arrowhead Brux 45 shooting a 275gr bore rider? Not that I would go anywhere near max but I like to know where the hold my beer zone is.

70 gr is pretty hot.
