Elpac3, you are using H-110/WW296 for powder. Have you considered going to the Original loading powder IMR/H 4227. With 40 BT and 45 FB-Hornet bullets I always have very good success. For The 35 grain Hornady Hornet V-max I liked IMR1680 up to 3200 fps. (at 3200 accuracy fell below 1" at 100 yards! This in Factory ammo was 1" to 200 yards and good on small varmints to about 300 on calm days!) Others liked Little Gun, but I found it blew the side out of cases well before max in my 218 Bee and just stayed away from it!

Which rifles or handguns are you loading for? I'm currently down to a 10" Contender and a Pre-1962 Savage 340. Both of these are by far the most accurate pair I have encountered. This is my 4th 340. I had a Ca.1969-70 340 that was pretty good, but a later and a very early 340 were destroyed by bad cleaning practices! This was the first Contender barrel I picked up and just lucked out! A friend had a super 14" Contender that from the factory only had a shadow of rifling (We think the bore diameter was too big). But he didn't know what it was suppose to look like and loaded about 1800fps loads and got 5/8" at 100 yards with it. We talked him into returning it under warranty and the new replacement has shot sub 1" at 200 at full velocity all along.
