H414, 58-1/2 GR with Remington 9 1/2 standard LR primers and either Speer 150 Spitzers or Remington 150 Core-Lokt. Good for 2950FPS from my Model 70 XTR Featherweight. Cases last about 8-10 loadings in my gun. Not quite max in my rifle, but close enough for my needs.

H414, WW760 and IMR 4350 are all similar in burning rate. The ball powders can be metered through any powder measure, where the extruded powders cannot.

NOTE!!!!!!

Work up to this load from about 56.0 GR
