Given that I have a 26" barrel plus a brake, makes it about 28" total, and most data is for a 24" barrel, I'm thinking of trying H4831 with the 200 grain AccuBond.
The recommended powder is Reloader 19, which I don't have and it's next to impossible to acquire according to my local gunpowder dealer, man that makes me sound like I'm trying to arrange a drug deal, and given my barrel length I was thinking a little slower burning powder may be beneficial in this rifle. I can find data for the 200 grain SPR SP using H4831 but not the Nosler AccuBond.
My plan was to work up loads starting at the minimum charge for the SPR SP bullet up to the maximum charge for that bullet until I find a group I like or I see pressure signs. What say you all?
