I was comparing several different powders and 44 grains of AR2206H gave 2,670 fps and IMR4064 2,650 fps. I recently chronographed 45 grains of AR2208 with the 150 grain in a 24" barrel which produced 2,760 fps.

Using Harveys Ist edition. He notes about 28k with 45gr. Prepped 100 cases. Going for looksee next month on down side of FM. Picked up some 4064 so that is another option. My son's mate does not shoot a lot of rounds. The deer he gets are huge. Big fat grass eaters. Thanks.
