I've been shooting 115 grain bergers exclusively, using H4831sc and H1000. I'm just starting on developing a new load around a 95 grain lathe-turned copper bullet. If I get the velocities I'm expecting, it should out perform the 115 grain out to about 600 yards.

I'm a little bit unsure about what powder to use. The h4831sc has done me very well and held up great in different temperatures. Will it perform as well with the lighter bullet? What should I be trying?
 
Manual list quite a few: IMR 4451, Hybrid 100V, RL 17 & 23, IMR & H 4831 plus some others. I would stick with H4831. I use a 117 SST bullet and H4831 with great results.
