Been looking for H1000 to load 6.5 PRC but can’t find any. If anyone has an unopened pound they would be willing to trade (somewhere around PSC) let me know. I’ve got Varget and a few other powders I’d trade (or I’ll buy it from you if you order). I could also trade for a couple FFL transfers.
Don't live there but I grew up just a few blocks from the old Gulfgate Shopping Center/ Mall.
Are you absolutely decided on H1000? While you're waiting to find it, maybe do some comparisons with other powders, and Hodgdon does have alternatives to include some of the newer IMR Enduron Series powders that better reduce copper fouling. If you go here:
https://blog.westernpowders.com/ you can download their #7 load guide and I just learned yesterday that the new one is only days away. I don't know what exactly is going on with Hodgdon as they seem to have lost the availability of the extruded powders that are made by ADI, Australian Defense Industries.
There is also new data provided for the 6.5 PRC you can download from the Western website. In case your unfamiliar with them, Ramshot Hunter should be good for lighter bullets, Magnum should cover all the bases and they have a new one called LRT that was made with over-bored Magnums in mind. All of the Ramshot rifle powders are spherical. Accurate has MagPro, also spherical, and Norma MRP is always a good choice. Norma 217 is their slowest powder sold in the US. Alliant has some great and newer powders. Some of their more familiar ones are made in Sweden by Bofors who make the Norma powders. RL22, for example, is the Alliant version of Norma MRP and RL16 seems to be a ringer for Norma URP. The latter 2 would also be limited to lighter bullet weights.
