55g is a little heavy for Hornet. I use them in my AR.

That's kinda what I was thinking. But after looking through my T/C contender reloading manual , they have a published load using Lil' Gun that has some really crazy ballistics, esp. from a contender barrel. But, that is only looking at velocities, we shall see if I can come up with a load with decent accuracy. If not, they should work in my 222 or my 223.

They definitely will work in an AR. I have a load that I get a 3/8” group with that exact bullet. Mine have the cannelure.

Lil' Gun and heavier-than-seems-right bullets make the Hornet very happy out of a pistol barrel. For as long as I can remember, Lil' Gun has been magic in that cartridge, especially in that application.

Thanks for the info. I just recently bought a pound of Lil Gun. I have never used it before. But glad I bought it and these bullets.

Got an email from powder valley and they have Accurate 4350 on sale for $33 a lb. I’ve had great results using that instead of H4350 the last couple years when I couldn’t find Hodgdon powders.


Edit: I didn’t just substitute Accurate 4350 for H4350, I worked up new loads. Most of the new loads were as good if not better using the Accurate powders. Wanted to be clear so a new reloader doesn’t see this and think they are interchangeable!

Went by Allen Cabela's on the way home from Dr. Greasy finger. They had several thousand SPP, $89.00 per thousand
Lots of Hodgen powers, no Alliant, no IMR.

 

[deemus]

Any 4350?

 

[CodyK]

Academy in Humble has powder in stock. Mostly pistol, it looked like, they had it stashed behind the counter in a safe so I couldn’t see it all.

Anyone seen 180gr or 200gr Sierra SBTs in .308?? I hate that Sierra seems to do long runs of one or two weights in their gameking. Right now 180s and 200s are nowhere in sight.

I have an unopened box of 100 Hornady SSTs in 180g.

I've been using them on deer for about 15 years. Lethal, and little to no running. Most have been DRT or under 20 yards. I literally use them in every hunting round I load except 224 Valkyrie. My big 270 lb Colorado mulie didn't take a step.

I am in need of some H-4350. Happy to do an even trade.

Appreciate the offer Mickey but I am needing Sierra Gamekings specifically for Africa this May

If I see any I will grab them for you.

likewise on any h4350 I come across. Cabelas in Allen had some before Christmas. Long gone by now but them and Scheels have been getting in way more powder

Bought some H4350 today direct from Hornady. Didn't know they sold like that. $350 for 5 pounds, but at least I will get some.

Stuff is not in stock anywhere I found.

Just talked to Bear Creek Ammo Supply. He had to increase his bullet prices, last increase was 8 years ago.
Just ordered 1K each .45 SWC, .38SWC, 32-20 RN. Total increase 15 bucks for 3k bullets. One hell of a lot better than Midway, Hunters Supply, and all the rest.

Pretty good selection of powder in 1lb bottles at Cabelas in El Paso. No primers though.

Lots of pistol and shotgun powder, with a few obscure rifles powders.

Looks about the same in Ft Worth.
