Those of you using SR-4759...

[big6x6]

Hey! I would appreciate what bullet and what powder weight you are using! I would also appreciate some velocity numbers for those that have chronographs...

Thanks a BUNCH!

4759 varies.

The only suggestion I can give is start out at 39 grains or so first, and save yourself some time. Like N110, it is better with 250 gr. bullets than 300 gr. class bullets.

43gr. 4759 with 250gr. SST/SW and Win primer.

Ditto. 43 grains under 250 SST and win primer

44 gr w/250 TC Blem. 2250 fps, but that's with a ML-I. MMP Short sabot w/Wonder Wad (it makes loading the next shot so much easier!)

My gun shot the best groups with 4759 at 2275 fps. the only problem I had was that to keep the speed the same I had to go up or down 1gr to keep the same when I changed cans. 3 different cans with 3 different speed at same charge weights.

IMO 4759 is the best recommended powder for 250 gr bullets. The only thing was I had to chrono to keep groups POI the same and moa.

Thanks for the replies gents! I have 40gr AND 42gr weighed for hopefully a trip to the range... I guess grain for grain it seems to give a tad less velocity than N-110....

I'll bet you will be weighing more powder shortly!
