I finally got some H4895 powder. Going to load some reduced .243W loads for my son to shoot in his Ruger American Compact.
Question I have is I read on Hodgdon website that I can take the max powder charge for a bullet that uses H4895 and use the 60% calculation of the max to find the reduced load. (I am not going to just use 60% I will probably use closer to 65% anyway).
Now does this formula apply to the heaviest bullet for the .243W or does this formula apply to any bullet that uses the H4895? I.E if I want to use Nosler's 70gr NBT or Sierra's 60HP in .243W I just take the heaviest charge for the bullet and multiple by 60%. (providing I can find any loads with H4895.)
Thanks and I am excited to get the ball rolling. But realize this may not work in this specific rifle but certainly H4895 can apply to other calibers so I am hitting the bird with two stones!
