MOA Shooter,
I tried to respond to your private message regarding the .30 HBC but apparently your account is not set up to receive private messages.
Anyway, I haven't shot any more of these bullets since my post on the old board. Too many other projects I'm having fun with .....32 Colt 1892 Marlin, .22 W.C.F. & .44 W.C.F. b.p. & smokeless tests, .30-30 311041-125 gr. version......
As you might have read, I used a capacity load of H414 to get to 2,000 f.p.s. with HTWW bullets which produced the best accuracy at a little less than 2 m.o.a. Interestingly the accuracy stayed pretty much 2 m.o.a. out to the 500 meter ram target, which indicates good stability.
To be honest, I only tried H414 to attain 2,000 fps because of its ability to produce m.o.a. groups in my 788 .30-30's with bullets like ....311644, 311299, 311284....
Maybe in 2006 I will try some different combinations to try to improve the accuracy. If I'm successful, I'll let you know.
