BTW 2209 is H4350
Here's the data from the current Hornady Reloading Manual.
I'm using 140gn ELD-M projectiles, 41.5gns of ADI 2209 (H4350) with a COL of 2.815" and getting 2656 fps from a 22" barrel.
Achieved a .5" 3 shot group at 200 yards (off a bench)

41.5 gr 2209 with a 140/143 is the Hornady match / Gunner load.Quote:

Some more 6.5CM load data.
This is from the Dec/Jan NZ Hunter magazine test of the Tikka T3x Tac A1

143gr eldx
That Duley load of 45 gr 2207 with the 143gn ELD-X can't be too healthy for brass or barrel throat life.Quote:

Hey, get off your high horse fella, I know it's AR2209 - just a typo, obviously.Quote:

It's AR2209. There's no such powder as AR2009 of course. My apologies.Quote:

Has anyone tried Vihtavuori N540 or N550 with the 143gr ELD-X?
