26 inch barrel for me.
W760 and H414 are the same today but there is a good dead of variability in the lots within and between both these so don't just assume anything with some flippant comment like "they are the same". Well that's true BUT my experience is you had better check each lot even though it IS the same stuff inside.. Pretty temp sensitive too. Not my favorite powder because of this.... but good in a crappy little .243 or at least my varmint rifle. Rifle is a pre'64 Winchester Model 70 Heavy Barrel. I know you are jealous.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I'm surprised Goatkiller hasn't shared his pet 243 loads.  58g vmax, 49g W760 around 3800. 760 is just really accurate for me in .243 I also like H414 My pet load in 7-08 is 120GR NBT and 48 grains of H414/Win 760. Sub MOA. They are the same powder. What’s your velocity and barrel length? Barrel length is 16.5 and I have no idea about velocity but I can attest it will flat put a smack down on a deer. I have shot 2 deer with it and 1 yote. I gut shot the yote, because thats the shot he gave me, and oh my lord what a mess. The first deer I shot was quartering to me and it blew the brisket out of it, the last deer I shot last year was a doe going away from me, I shot out of a tree. Ran off into a pine thicket about 40 yards, if that. Blood trail Stevie Wonder could follow Both deer were complete pass through. You will rarely see me out hunting with a barrel longer than a 16.5. I have a 20 in 308 I sometimes take, especially if I sit on a green field in the evening, because it has my best scope on it. Longest shot I have right now is under 150 yards. 7-08 is a ruger stainless M77 carbine. I have a blue one in 308, it weighs 1/4 lb less, and is NOT fun to shoot off a bench, so I haven't found anything it likes yet.

When you figure out the velocity, let me know.
83% of all statistics are made up.
