Your opinions needed

Thanks for sharing! Be careful & I expect you will!

Wow! I am not sure what to think about the character in the video. More aggressive than Id like to see new reloader modeling after, I suppose.

May have missed it though barrel length seems to have been left out here. Info Id really like to know.


Other than his starting point & jump increments in this small cartridge his data seems to be legit, Lets just say, I am inclined to give H335 a try myself with the bolt action in mind. I do expect to find, this cat is most likely pushing pressures beyond the 52,000 pressure limit for a gas gun. Could be wrong, though my gut says he is warmer than he realizes. Or his comfort level for the gas gun pressure defiantly exceeds what I would be wishing to roll with.

Perhaps I should bite my toung until I give it a go. I have the components, suppose Ill need to give it a spin to compare notes. Sorry to report that while I am curious, this is not nessisarly a priority for me at the moment. Have a long weekend ahead.

Mabe ill get a wild Hair & give this a go, though I suspect other task are going to get higher priority this weekend. We will see.

I have only tried IMR 8208 XBR behind this bullet thus far. Thinking for my use Ill prefer to stay with IMR 8208 XBR due to the more stable burn rate as temperature changes. My utility use for the Absolute hammer would be for deer hunting. My hunting will take place at temperatures ranging from sub zero farenhight to 60ish above.

I am inclined to do the lions share of my load work up in the summer, living further to the north. My data developed in the summer may not apply so well in the extreme cold of the late fall, early winter With H335.

Better than working up a hot load in the winter, then go shoot that margenly safe winter load in the heat of summer & experience bad things due to a Faster burn rate in the heat of summer. H335 is among less temp stable powders that are more prone to such temp swing, pressure issues.

Thanks to all so far. I went ahead and ordered a box of 50  I will set them beside my Hornady 90gr CX/GMX and sometime this summer I'll give them a try. 
CZ please post if you decide to do more work up on these.
Since I have LR powder I may just shoot side by side with the CX's and see how they do.

Have a great weekend
