So my wife has blown through almost 500 rounds in the last few months and I need to load her up some more. I have brass, primers and bullets but my powder of choice and actually the only powder I have used for her is gone...(IMR 4831) I haven't found any at the store I frequent the most so I am branching out tomorrow.
I had a load of 42 grains of the IMR 4831 pushing a 87 grain V-max that was accurate so I stuck with it. I was hoping for some powder suggestions that have worked for others with a same or similar load so I can broaden my search. I know I have to work up loads for the specific gun but for some reason I have it in my mind that if it is good in yours, it may be a good spot to start with mine.
Any suggestions are welcome. Maybe some opinion of how clean it burns, flash and recoil as well. Only reason I consider flash is we do a lot of coyote hunting and some of it is in the dark.
Thanks,
Mike
