@grandpamac.
yes in my post above I found hornady book max for H4831- ADI 2213 was 49 something. this was simply seated in new Norma 25 06 brass with no other prep
When I tried in june last year down south I went as far as 55grn as even 51 grns was only giving me 2600 and I had 2830 with fed match 210 and 2865 with a cci magnum primer, @ the 55grns
however these same loads in January with F/L sized brass using the Redding dies i ended up with 2912 wityh 55grns and 2970 with 55.6 and a huge ejector mark, somewhat stiff bolt lift and a very flat primer and only about an inch group, previously good 1/2 inch at 2830 as above
So, I have plenty of H4831 to go back to but acquired 2 tubs of H1000 and thought I'd give that a crack starting at a medium load and working up.
@Tentman
If your about and it's not too much trouble could you run H1000 for me please, 26 Inch barrel, 140gr amax
Thanks.

I'm away till Monday but will have a look then. cheers
