Apparently H108 and W820 may be the more or less the same and faster burning than H110 which may be close to W296. Also apparently H108 does not require the pressure that H110 does to burn cleanly and is not as prickly in use as H110. Maybe that is why H108 works well in non-magnum small case loads.

Roy,

I need to dig out the mold to see which one, and I apparently put it someplace 'safe' that now I can't find. I suspect it's in the garage with the lead pot.

I'm loading up some 115gr LRN bullets I've sized to .300", using 11gr 4198 to start. I'm also putting together a batch of 135gr bullets with 12.0 and 11.0grs 4198 to see if that tightens things up. I'm trying to get ready for Rick's match and not have it all be a last minute scurry. I've got Lee sizing dies coming for .301" and .302" and maybe those will improve the groups. I do like their new system where you're just buying a sizing die and pusher that fit inside a breech lock holder that also catches the bullets in a bottle. To add the .301 and .302 dies to what I already had only cost $42 shipped from Lee.

Let me know if you want to try some of the bullets I'm sizing.

Re AA5 for 300 Rook, I don't have a rifle in that chambering, but I just missed out on buying a fairly priced H&H rook from Cabelas this week in 295 Rook, which I understand interchanges with 300 Rook. I really need to get Colin's book.
