I am obviously new to Muzzy’s but have one of Arrowheads barreled actions ordered. I saw where the recommended powder or one of the options was the H4198. I bought a couple of containers but had a question. When the breach plug is in the barrel, does any of the powder fall down into the plugs fire hole that goes to the module? I might not be using the correct terminology. It seems like the powder is small and round as opposed to elongated granules.

I only have shot my encore barrel 50 times or so with imr4198 because that’s all I could find and I have seen 1 kernel in flash hole area after being bounced around in truck/pack/canoe for two weeks

I have burned thru almost 3 lbs of IMR4198 in my savage with a vent liner. Never had any issues as long as I kept an eye on the flame channel diameter. .035 is as big as I will let it get then I change to new one. Have fun.
