![]() ![]() that'll give you about 75 more rounds - retail value of at least $80-$100. I could run the comparison in QuickLoad, but never though about it until you got me thinking about it.Īlso, the H110 is using nearly 1 grain more (subs, see below), but getting less velocity, and per lb. On the low end (subs), it swaps around a bit, but looking at the velocity, not an exact mirror, so I suspect if you lower the Lil'Gun charge to hit 1050 instead of 1077, pressure should really be nearly equal - now that's just a guess, but one based on reasonable presumptions, I think. On the high end (supers), I get higer velocity and lower pressure.ġ10 GR. Any opinions or comments or possible recipes? I was asking about using a 30 cal sabot and load them into the 300 AAC. 224 SMK and really cannot load them up for the AR. Have you used H110 with the 300AAC? If so, which do you like better and why? I just loaded up 100 rounds with both H110 and Lil Gun. Please feel free to PM me any results or questions for comment.Gorillamotors wrote:Lots of great info. This will tell you if you have a slow barrel. 270 adjusting for your barrel length as above. You could also test the same load in your rifle and another. You could also test an extra grain ie 55.5 grains of AR2209 and 60 grains of AR2213SC which should give an extra 50 fps in each. If it wasn't sealed then it could be anything.īased on the load data your AR2209 is slow so a test you could do is to scrounge some AR2209 from another handloader and test this for velocity using the same charge. I assume that your AR2209 is in a plastic canister rather than the earlier metal can and also that the container was still sealed when you got it. Hodgdon lists 55.5 grains of H4350 with the harder Barnes for 3,111 fps at 63,500 PSI (CUP and PSI are not the same) so it looks as if the 54.3 grain load is a soft one and the batch of powder you have is a slow one. Your 18" barrel would lose 25fps maybe 30 fps per inch or 150 fps to 180 fps total or about 2,800 to 2,850 fps expected velocity in your barrel, not 2,670 fps. I note that Hodgdons has a max of 54.3 grains of AR2209 for 3,012 fps at 50,500 CUP in a 24" barrel. Way more than I was expecting! This certainly doesn't leave me confident in trying to replicate this as the only official load data i can see with this powder near the 130 grain weight is by barnes (min 52.5 max 58.3gr) using their 129 LRX BT.Īnyway all of this has left me scratching my head so if anyone has had experience loading 130gr projectiles with this powder Id love to hear from you, really looking for an idea of where to start with charge weights. I unloaded one of the unfired Hornady superperformance rounds and weighed the powder and was amazed to see 65 grains register on the scales. ![]() I see lots of talk of the 145 ELDX with 57-58gr of powder generating awesome results in longer barreled sakos and tikkas. I wish i had checked this out before buying the powder! However upon sitting down to work up some loads I've found a real lack of reloading data (which many others have mentioned). This inspired me to go and grab some Hodgdon Superperformance powder yesterday. I chronographed some 130gr Hornady superperformance factory ammo which got up to the mid 2900's which im happy with given the very short barrel length of my rifle. AR2209 and AR2213SC have both given poor velocities respectively, only yielding around 2700fps using Hornady 130gr SST's. I realize there are a number of threads already on this topic, however non of them cover the 130 grain bullet weight range in much detail. ![]()
