Overthinking this or not?
I like 4350 in a number of applications but have always used H4350 for actual hunting loads in the belief that it was the less temp sensitive of the two but rarely have I seen marked differences between the two powders in load development apart from a few fps.
Worked up a nice load with H4350 for my youngest who will have his first deer tag this year - 140 grain Speer in a tight little sporterized Swedish Mauser. Fits him reasonably well, not a lot of recoil. He's pretty confident out to 250 yards.
Come to find I like H4350 so much that I've got about 1/4 lb left but 3 lbs of IMR4350. No H4350 at LGS or at Cabelas I went by yesterday. So, am I overthinking it?
I can't imagine it'll be more than a 1.5 grains ladder to find the IMR 4350 that works best. Shooting in the 70s and 80s now, likely be 30s - 40s in the Big Horns next month. Since he'll be confining himself to 250 yards, is the temperature sensitivity enough to possibly matter?
