Hello All,
I'm working up Woodleigh loads for a Krieghoff 500-416. Per the Woodleigh Loading Manual, H1000 is listed as a viable powder for 410 grain Weldcore's with 109.5 grains being the max charge. I'm having good results out of both barrels with a charge of 108.6 grains H1000.
I want to start working on FMJ loads, however the Loading Manual does not list H1000 as an option for 410 grain FMJ bullets. I would like to use this powder since I have several pounds of it on hand and do not have any of the others listed in the manual, however being relatively new to reloading I do not want to go down a pathway I shouldn't go.
Would I be OK using H1000 and if so limiting my charges to no more than 109.5 grains (what the manual says for the Weldcore's) or should I use something lighter? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
