I’ve got some W231and accurate 4100.

I’ve read off AI that accurate 4100 isn’t recommended for lighter lead bullet since it’s considered a full power powder in 44.

I was thinking 18gr or so with some hi tek 200 gr bullets from Missouri.

I’m having a hard time finding the actual reference AI is getting their info from.

I could also go with a much lighter load of W231 for plinking but I’ve got NO other use for the 4100. I’d rather just use it.

I may submit a load request to Hogdon.

Hodgdon already has data on the site for 200 grain bullets.

With the 180-200 grain bullets I’d ’ideally’ use a medium powder like Unique or H Universal. I’d also load them in the mid range, plenty to get things done, but enjoyable to shoot.

I know what it’s like to use up an older or an outlier powder type. I have a fair amount of older IMR 4227, Bullseye and IMR 4064. These came free, unknown storage history. One kicker is the 4064, tin can, has slight ‘rust dust’ from early onset deterioration. I have sifted & transferred it to plastic, reduced the rust colored powder.

I don’t plan to load any for storage, rather just load some & shoot rather soon. I recently used it for 6.5 Swede loads, shot fine. I’m just not ready to dump it on the lawn yet.

There is a little range with 4100 data. The burn rate is not far from Enforcer & #9. It may not be ideal, but should be just fine with the lighter bullets.

Thank you, I saw the load on their website site. Wanted to double check the type of bullet. I don’t believe MIssouri makes any jacketed bullets so I assume it’s hard cast they’re talking about.

That’s the main info I’m basing this load on. Starting a little less than their starting loading and working up.
