I have tired AA1680, Lilgun, and H4198 and did settle on H4198 to get a higher load dencity. I should get my rebarreled 221FB back in a week or two and it will be basicly a new gun as far as what loads it will like with the new barrel. I am sticking with 40gr HP's and the 45gr hornady spire point which I have a lot of. The twist is 1:14 3 groove 24" barrel so it should favor them still (?).
I still have two pounds of H4198 but its time to concider any powder that performs well in the 221 FB like reloader #7.
When I pick up more 40 grainer's the Varmagadin 40gr HP looks real nice. The 45gr spire pt is ecentually a 45gr SX bullet and it works well at the FB's slightly slower velocities on larger vermen.
