Title: Thoughts on H1000 powder
Post by: Oh Mah on September 14, 2018, 06:18:59 PM: I got turned onto the H1000 powder and so far working pretty well.Before using H1000 i was using IMR7828 and others trying to find the sweet spot.

What are others thoughts on H1000 and what is your go to powder for .300 H&H, wm,Weatherby RUM and the .338's

Could have been the bullet powder combo....but with the 212 eld-x it is my go to powder. It pushes the 212's at 2884 fps which is pretty darn good. :tup: :tup:

My experience as well.
