IMR 4198 loads

[abunaitoo]

4198 is my favorite for 308 cast.

It's particularly good in the FR-8 Mauser with 18" bbl - no more flame thrower.

What's your load with the 4198????
I've been using 700X with 311/200gr GC.
Light target load.
Shoots great out to 200yds.

My '03A3 shoots best with IMR-4198 under a 312-185. 25 gr with throw it at around 2100 fps. It's also one of the main powders (other than Unique) I like to use for the 54R with cast as well. The load data for that reads pretty close to the same.

I'll give that a shot.

So my girlfriend was out and about and I've been telling her if she sees powder to call me and I'll tell her if I need it. Well she thinks she's going to surprise me and brings home 2 cans of 4198 when i really need 4895. I don't own any of the calibers this powder was designed for. Does anyone have load data for any other calibers? 30/30, 308, 06, 270,762x54? Or do i need to be looking to trade this powder?

See the Hodgdon reloading data website for all kinds of 4198 loads. I personally use the powder for .223 reloading.

I use 22 grains of it behind an NOE 326471 215 grain cast bullet in 8mm Mauser. That's giving me about 1555 FPS average.
