Videos tagged with Hodgdon H4350

This video details a temperature sensitivity test for Winchester StaBALL 6.5 powder, comparing it against Hodgdon H4350, Hodgdon H414, and Alliant Reloader 17 in 6.5 Creedmoor. The test involved shooting five rounds cold (around 32°F) and five rounds hot (around 120°F) for each powder to measure velocity changes. Winchester claims StaBALL 6.5 is the world's first temperature-stable ball powder, and the results suggest it performs significantly better than H414 and Reloader 17 in terms of temperature insensitivity, though H4350 remains the benchmark.

Jerry Miculek discusses various Hodgdon and Winchester reloading propellants, highlighting their applications and characteristics. He explains the differences between ball and extruded powders, the benefits of temperature-insensitive 'extreme' powders, and demonstrates the burn characteristics of smokeless powder versus cordite. The video emphasizes choosing the right powder for specific calibers and shooting disciplines.

This video focuses on testing a specific ammunition load for the 224 Valkyrie caliber. It details the use of 90-grain Sierra Match King bullets paired with Hodgdon H4350 powder. Additionally, the video includes a test of Federal Fusion factory ammunition in the same caliber. While no specific firearm models are mentioned, the content is clearly aimed at reloaders and shooters interested in precision rifle cartridges and performance testing.

This guide details the process of developing accurate loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge using Sierra 142gr Match King bullets. Expert insights from Johnny's Reloading Bench cover component selection, precise reloading techniques with specific dies and presses, and systematic range testing. The analysis focuses on comparing IMR 4451 and Hodgdon H4350 powders to identify optimal charge weights for superior accuracy and velocity.

This video focuses on reloading and optimizing ammunition for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. The creator is specifically experimenting with the 140gr Nosler RDF projectile and Hodgdon H4350 powder, seeking the ideal Overall Length (OAL) for this combination.

This guide details a safe method for determining the maximum powder charge for a specific rifle and component combination, as demonstrated by Aaron Davidson of Gunwerks. It emphasizes monitoring brass flow around the ejector as a key indicator of excessive pressure. By incrementally increasing powder charges and inspecting fired brass, shooters can identify safe load limits, backing off from the first sign of pressure to ensure safe operation.
