H-380 for M1?
Loaders:
I was given a couple of pounds of H-380. I plan to use for my 22-250, but is it too slow for 30-06 to be fired in my M1? (Too long pressure curve, bent operating rod)  Thanks!Gascheck |

H380 is actually around the same burning rate as 4064. I load Lake City brass with 52.0 of H380 over a 150 grain Sierra, and CCI 250 primers. It works just fine in my gas gun. The 22-250 will love it as well. If I had to chose just one powder to load all my rifle cartridges bigger than a 223, H380 would be right there at the top. I use it in 22-250,257,243,308,30/06,7/08,6mm, and 25/06 with lighter bullets. Nary a bobble, and darn fine accuracy in all.
