Powder questions

[Jim Boyd]

Hey folks

In my haste to get started reloading recently (when things were EVEN harder to find) - I ended up with a pound each of Accurate 4064 and Hodgdon H110.

I load for 350L, 6.5G, 6.5CM and 7-08.

I read some anecdotal stuff about using these two powders in the rounds I have but does anyone have good advice to how to utilize these powders (4064 and H110) in my case?


Many thanks

the H110 will work in some pistols or shot shells
I might try the 4064 in the 7mm-08

I'd use that varget in the 708.

it looks like the H110 might give you around 2500fps in the 350L with a 125 or 147gr bullet. Not sure what weight you are running in yours.

I am using a Hornady 165 in the 350L with Lil Gun.

I am almost an idiot as I overlooked H110 in the Hornady load data.

Looks like the H110 specifies the use of slightly less powder (at xx velocity) and they both top out at about 2250.

Many thanks !!!!

the H110 is going to have about 10,500 more psi and be about 100fps slower looking at the data...you might know you shot that one

H110 works good in large bore pistols and small bore shot shells

Hey Jim I’m sure you’ve seen the Hodgdon online stuff but just in case:

I’ve loaded a lot of the 264s but not with those powders.

There is a reason GON is heralded as great.

People like @Dub, @Jester896 and @menhadenman that help guide folks trying to learn.

All apologies to folks I did not name that also bring excellence to the equation.


Very thankful.

These guys all helped me a ton - just a couple years ago I was still stuck doing some really basic stuff. BP, jester, jeffin and a few others are walking encyclopedias.
