ANY 4198 is a poor powder for nitro for black loads- especially that much of it in my opinion. I've had much better results with H4895 and there are other ones which will work, of course. I just find 4895 to be better - again, Hodgdon 4895, not IMR4895.

Curl - Ben isn't a handloader - or at least wasn't a few months ago - so has little or no knowledge about handloading practises.

In order to shoot that rifle, Ben would have to buy the ammo or have someone load for him - or learn to load and buy all the equipment. In the 2nd case, would someone go through the starting load, and work up WITH him? Doubtful - and the result could be a terrible accident.

I sincerly wish Ben the best in whatever he does - that rifle certainly would be a nice addition to one's locker - but - ammo is a consideration, who loads it and with what?

The owner lists 1,850fps for the jacketed bullets. In my shooting with modern, larger bores, I usually find jacketed bullets to deliver approximately 100fps less velcity at higher pressure than the same load with a cast, grooved lubricated bullet. Paper patched bullets would give similar or identical results to the grooved bullets.

So, what does this revelation mean? - If the velocity of 1,850fps is an actual chronographed velocity and not a guess, then 75gr. ?4198 in that rifle, would give approximatly 1,900 to 1,950fps with a cast bullet, which is 200fps higher than the load the rifle was designed for. Yes - in that rifle, if certainly seems excessive.
