BTW try LVR in your 22 Nosler. 3050fps with the 77gr TMK and brass looks lovely. Bro is getting 6-7 loads out of brass before pockets get a bit loose.
I've got almost a keg of IMR 4451 I bought when I did the S'more thinking it would be impossible to find H4350, and then I found a bunch of H4350. I've been wanting to give it a try with 70 RDFs in the 22 Nosler ( bought a bunch when SPS was practically giving them away) but just haven't had the time. Slower powder just makes so much sense. Also going to try cooler primers (WSRs and BR-4 vs the Feds I've been using). A switch from Feds to BR-2s in my S'more did wonders for reducing peak pressure with 140s and slowing bolt unlock across the board. If that doesn't work, I'm not going to waste H4350 on it and I don't think I'd allow myself to buy a pound of Lever just for the 22 Nosler lol. The barrel will be going in the back of the closet like the plan was before I saw Hodgdon's data
Let's go Brandon!
