404 Jeffery Hodgdon H 4350 loads feedback?

[Gert Odendaal]

Good day to all Members. Please share your experience using Hodgdon H4350 loads?
I have read reports of 404 Jeffery hunters who has great accuracy results using Hodgdon H4350 , 84gn, 400gn bullets giving around 2300-2350f/s.
I want to use this propellant, I do not have any experience in using this propellant .
Feedback will be much appreciated...

Subscribed for feedback. My pet load for 400 gr Aframes is 75 gr of RL15. Right at 2260-2275 fps. Have never felt a need to switch to anything else (or increase speed). Thankfully I have a stockpile or 15!

This was exactly the powder and load I used on this past Aprils hunt. Two kills out at 300 yards speaks for the rifle with load certainly not me given I am just an average shot

Rare Breed, it sounds great , especially the accuracy out to 300 yards..

It simply works. The problem for us is finding H4350 in stock.

It looks like we have some products here in South Africa, would make sure to buy at least two containers of H4350...I will be using BARNES TSX 400 gn bullets as a combination.

This is the load I use with 400 gr Swift A Frames. I use the Swift COAL of 3.530". Note that 84.0 grs of H4350 is over the max load (78.9) published in Hornady 10th edition.

I use H4350 in a lot of different calibers and find it extremely easy to do a ladder and quickly find a load with low SD and ES. You might sacrifice a bit of velocity, but not much.

I've attached a powder relative burn rate chart, which also shows temperature stability (which isn't that important at hunting range distances). It does show H4350 is one of the more stable powders. I don't know the origin of this data, so take it for what it's worth.
