    So here’s tonight test. I am not a great rifle shooter ok. I am primarily a recurve hunter so keep that in mind. I shot 42 and 42.5 in IMR 4350 and H4350 I had on loaded at 41.5 in the bottom right target. Just let me know what you think. Thanks Jer

    Thanks for your reply. I bought to have a rifle in between my 22 and 45-70 As Fred Bear once said…. You want to learn to hunt get a bow….. you wanna eat get a gun. So I gotta a recurve and went hungry a few times 😩 So I decided to get a few plinkers… been eating game ever since… some with both😁

    I am not stuck on any brand or weight from 85-100… just want something that groups well. I don’t shoot much past 100 yards here anyway but last night they weren’t grouping good at 200 Maybe it’s just me

    So this is what I bought to try. Thought I would be able to get a sense of what it liked. I have shot the 100 federal sand they group nice 95 grain Winchester xp… not so good 80 grain Winchester no so great Going to take out the 100 and 90 and 80 and shoot 3 each at 100 yards now and take pics...

    I did my research and I wanted the partitions but couldn’t find them. I just found some 100 grainers but was told my 1-10 twist wouldn’t stabilize them. Man I am loving my recurve bow and my 45-70 more and more now that I have tried to get this thing to shoot something well. I will persevere...

    I bought the H4350 because it was touted as a great powder for the 243. Let me test some more with it before I switch. Thanks Jer
