What muzzleloading stuff did you do today?

[ElDiablo]

ElDiablo, Where did you find 4198?

That’s IMR. Found it at a local gun shop but it’s been pretty available and I see it at many gun shops.

Ordered 8lbs of N120 for my Scout from Grafs, free shipping and free hazmat. Tax wasn't free though (ugh). Figured I'd just bite the bullet now and know I'll have it for a very long time as I'm only using a max of 58 to 60 grs per shot.

No 4198 H or I around me here in VA or online that I could find.

Great score

I thought so to Tom. I was looking at various 45-70 reloading powders as future alternatives in the Scout should powder get scare and was going to ask you to run some numbers for me on the powders but 5lbs of those various ones ended up being more than the 8lb of N120!

called bell and Carlson and was able to order a knight ultra light stock for my mountaineer. I was surprised I was able to. It wasn’t cheap but I had to have it. I will keep you posted once I receive it. If everything works out I will probably have a brand new Boyd’s thumbhole for sale

I can't find any H4198 or Imr4198 either. Not in shops or available online? Just curious, has anyone tried N130? I see it now mentioned on Woodman load Data?

I haven’t, but I’ve tested some N133.

Recently received a pair of Woodman’s adjustable escucheon pillars and nitrided screws. Man, I think these things are gonna be the way to go for the SML Omega builds!

So how was the N133 any good? Why I asked about N130, is I see it as being equivalent to H4198, IMR4198, and RL7. According to ADI World Class Powder Equivalent Chart?

I feel your pain, I have a friend who has a gun shop in central Pa who has always helped me out during powder supply issues. I basically tell him what I’m in need of and he will call when it’s available. He hasn’t been able or has seen either of the 4198s in a long time. I’m venturing into other options. Been getting N120 pretty easy. I sure hope it does well when I get the time to shoot cause l bought bunches.

N120 I have used with excellent results. Works well & burns clean. That's why I ordered 2 more Lbs. & asked about N130 because is available.

Thank you very much for the new Woodman Website. I was wondering why I couldn't get the Woodman site anymore, now I know why. Thanks again!

Watching old Knight video.
I've never seen this video until now,

The N120 is excellent across the board. I've been using it for over 4yrs now

I'm thinking, if I'm remembering correctly, you can use less N120 than 4198.

I would think N130 and N133 is to slow for the 45 but I could be wrong....

FYI - On Doug's message board, the pressure traces are good for powder choices.

Haven’t messed with it much. This load looked promising in my testing:

A 395 subX/wool wad/55 gr N133 - 1810 fps
