Default IMR4227 & ACC1680

My Lee Perfect Powder measure does a much better job dispensing these powders than H110. By that I mean the measure was not gumming up. The amount dropped of H110 was very accurate but after a dozen throws I could hardly move the handle.

With the recent 300 AAC workup loads I dropped under weight and trickle charged to desired weight using my digital scale. I just didn't have time to thoroughly test them for accurate drops.

Can any Lee charger handle H110 cause I kind of like that powder. Maybe it will turn out that I like these two powders just as well.

Mike

I believe LEE has a new powder measure that has some metal parts . It is supposed to handle the ball powders well . I have not gotten one yet though , just " hear say " . It's called the " auto drum " .

I know the 300 is the new hot kid in town to try out but with
ammo starting at .65 cents and going to $1.55 a round.........
I can see why you want to reload.

The old 223 ammo runs from .22 cents to .32cents a round but
I guess it is old stuff, people don't want to bother with, now?

I thought the 308 was bad enough with its short case with heavy bullets.
It has nothing over the case ratio of the 300!!

Have fun.
