What did you reload today?

It’s a ball powder as stated by puddle. Some say the are harder to ignite, I have burned pounds and pounds of Winchester 760 and never had a trouble. Most factory ammo is loaded will ball powder. The current military 556 ammo is loaded with Winchester 748 ball powder.
I would use your load with confidence.
 
Loaded 100 more 230gr snake eggs while a batch of .45 brass was being cleaned this afternoon.
 
That load is within Hodgdon's recommended load range.

The only niggly point I can think of is it's a double-base powder, so a steady diet may increase wear at the throat, but you'd have to fire A LOT of that powder to see that kind of wear.

I use that powder in multiple cartridges, including the H&H.
Okay than you very much. Good to know.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
