Yeah, Ray (DWT) I heard that too, so, I loaded a bunch of NPs in my rifles and headed out to Mission, hot and excited; I used both a Chrony and an Oehler 35P and averaged about 2680. This was about four years back, not long before I met you out there and I tried two different lots of RE-22.
About the late '80s, I kept hearing all sorts of wonderful things about the 180 NP in the '06 and the 250 NP in the .338 over H-4831. I experimented until my shoulder was beat to a frazzle and NEVER got over 2660 with top loads in either, far below Nosler Manual specs and you know how many rifles I have to play with!
So, I still gotta go with H-4350 overall, but, RE-19 has done well for some of my buddies; as you know, these RE slower powders can be a tad "spikey" and too temperature sensitive, but, can really perform if the loads are built with that in mind.
Maybe Sunday next at Mission?????, if the H20 is not pouring out of the sky?
