    454 Casull powder choices?

    I was looking for a powder to use with 250-300 gr boolits for target practice that will not break the bank. I use H110 for hunting loads. The 454 casull is new to me, but me and my boys burn alot of powder.

    I have been reloading 38/357, 40sw, 45auto, 308, 223 for about 10 years. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Kevin

    I get ragged hole groups with HS-6 and 2400 works well also.

    10 grains of unique and about any bullet will work great and be economical

    For midrange .454 loads, I like Bluedot.

    With a handle like that, you have to be either on the Middle TN or the West TN side of the river. Anywhere close to the I-40 bridge?

    I'm in far W.TN.

    I use 2400 for midrange and unique for lighter loads as well.

    alamogunr....grew up on the river and currently live just west of there. Work in Memphis though. Drop me a line and maybe we can burn a little powder before deer season gets in full swing.


    I had a couple of other people suggest unique and bluedot.

    Thanks
