I'd like to run projectiles in the 70-85 grn range for hunting
Seems most are using loads around 37-40 grains of whatever powder they use.
4350 seems popular,particularly for the heavier bullets.
I have BM 8208 and AR2206h,I'm thinking I'll load some up of each in that charge weight range and see what they go like.
Any thoughts?

If guys are using 37-40 gr of h4350 I wouldn't be loading the same charge weight of 2206h. I would think 2206h and bm8208 would both be a bit fast burning
