Is anyone here using 4831SC in a creedmoor or a 260rem? I am trying it out and i am getting some excellent accuracy results with my 6.5creedmoor. The only down side i am having is my extreme velocity spread. Although it isnt bad (30fps) i would like for it to be a bit better. It was fairly cool out yesterday (40) so i wasnt sure if this might have had something to do with it? Anyone have any info they can share? Thanks Lee

Re: 4831SC
Your results are exactly what I got. I had slightly higher velocities but higher ES numbers too. H4350 did better for me in my 260.

I am also hearing that from another shooter that is using H4831SC in his 260. He says that his extreme spreads reading are high. I have tried H4831SC in my 260, but currently I use H4350.

I was going to try the H4831SC in my 25-06. But after reading this thread I think I'll stick with the 4350.

Victor,
I have had good luck with H4831SC in a .270 Winchester. You may want to try it in the .25-06. It is a lot bigger then the .260R.
Good luck
Jerry

Re: 4831SC
Skeetlee I'm using it in my 260AI. Here's some crono readings I got last week. I'm running a little more than you should use in a 260 Rem so I'll just post the velocities.
Group one

I do get better accuracy with Varget but it's much slower. Donald

Re: 4831SC
While I do not reload for a .260, I do believe that 4831 is likely a little slow for it. 4831 is better suited to cartridges with higher capacity.

Re: 4831SC
Here's a good read. Someone here on the hide gave me the link when I was starting on my 260AI. This guy seems to do really well with H4831.

4831 produces allot more velocity for me than Varget or 4350. When I started it did not produce the best groups with L 123's but it has been a great match with L 139's and SMK 142's. H4350 will give me just as good a group as 4831SC but I can get more speed with the 4831SC so that's my go to powder now. Donald

Re: 4831SC
I agree with H4831 in a great powder in the .25-06. More case capacity, if I had to pick one powder to use in all weights bullets in the .25-06, it would be H4831.
55g seems to be an OCW with 100g bullets.
