Hodgdon LVR

[Wm.Traynor]

I don't seem to be able to find a price for this on the web sites of the gunshops so I don't know how it compares with 2206H. Anyone bought some recently?

Hodgdon's published data for it gives a maximum velocity, in the 30/30, that is only 100 fps faster than 2206H. Is LVR really worth using?

Last powder I bought was 06h, it loads everything well

LVR is a spherical powder, and similar in performance to 2209(extruded) apparently, I see the increase in velocity is at an extra 20%load, or thereabouts. with increase in pressure as well.

If you need the extra range, slightly increased MPBR,then it might be worthwhile.... if its available locally of course.

otherwise.... its just marketing.

Thanks mate. Looks like ADI gets the nod.

Question is, do you need the 100 extra fps.

We're talking about the 30-30 here after all, a mid-range hunting cartridge. Not a 1,000 yard benchrest setup.

Mr Bacon isn't going to notice the bullet travelling 100fps slower is he.

Assuming you're using the 30/30 for hunting at short - mid ranges like it's intended and extra 100fps isn't going to much much (if anything).

It will shoot marginally flatter which is nice, but hardly a deal breaker.

Or if he does he's not going to be in the kind of mood that you'll want to walk up and ask him about it
