Based on reports from forums and some load data I've stumbled across on forums like this, I decided to go with H4350 and RL17 for use with 140 gr bullets. I know someone who uses N550 for his wife's target rifle to push 130 gr. Accubonds with great success. However, while it looks great on paper I was scared away from the N series powders because of complaints of throat erosion. Whether or not that's a legitimate concern, I'm not sure.
Press, dies, powder, primers, tools, tumbler, etc. are in the mail. I'm jumping into this without any prior knowledge or experience in reloading brass... This is all just observation. H4350 seems to be by far the most used powder, not necessarily the most accurate, but the most common.
I picked up CCI BR-2 primers for my first trials... Any experience for or against the BR-2?
Will be shooting an X-Bolt Eclipse Target (28" 1-8" Twist, Heavy), to push 140-143 gr ELD-M and Berger VLDs at 800 m paper if that makes any difference.
