I'm reloading .243 for my Ruger American. Goal is to be ready for deer hunting in the fall.
My Lyman reloading book (49th edition) shows IMR-4350 as potential for 90 grn bullet. 90 grn bullet is a bit light for whitetail, but I believe the Nosler Ballistic tip can do the job.
My question is this, is H4350 the same as IMR-4350??? I realize Hodgdons bought IMR, but, are the powders exactly the same?
A local guy is selling some H4350, so is it worth me buying, or is it not the right stuff for my needs?
I'm also reloading 100 grn bullets. I don't have a lot of confidence in 100 grn bullets, I've shot several boxes of Winchester and a couple boxes of Federal factory loads and wasn't really happy with the results. I just don't think my rifle likes that weight. However I picked up a few different bullets, Speer, Hornady and Sierra so I'll be trying them out.
