Bah! :bangHead:
I looked here, Hodgdon's Reloading site, Nosler's Guide, Google....no luck.
Can anyone tell me what the maximum charge of H4350 is for a 100 grain Nosler Partition, or what they're using? The closest I can find is out of the Nosler Guide (and references thereto) which list a maximum for IMR4350 at 41.5 grains. I'm guessing the Hodgdon will be a bit lower (???).

Thanks in advance, one and all.

PS.... the cartridge is 243 Win (in a Savage Model 11)

Knowing what cartridge you are loading for would be helpfull ..............
 
Quit worrying about who made the bullet.
Just look up 243, 100 grain bullets and use the data.

Actually the bullet construction can be a factor.Data for use with monolithic bullets,such as Barnes,can differ from that designed for other bullet constructions.

He said he wanted the information for Nosler, which are interchangeable with any other standard bullet.
 
The #6 Nosler lists 37.5-41.5 grs with IMR 4350 for 95-100 gr bullets. The Hodgdon #27 lists 39-42 grs of H-4350 for a 95 gr Partition. If it was me, I would work up a load using 38 grs of H-4350 with 100 gr Partitions as a starting point.

But not all bullets are "standard bullets".Even the Nosler E-tip is closer to a barnes bullet than a partition.

OK you two, we get it. One of you two roosters has prettier feathers than the other

FWIW:

Take the starting data for the bullet weight your looking to shoot, and proceed in 1/2grain steps, looking for signs of over pressure.

I prefer to mic my case heads and compare the expansion to that of factory ammo.

Just remember the 243Win is prone to pressure spikes, so introduce a bit of cushion to accomidate this.

Or go buy a 25'06 and be done with it.;)
