Andy H Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) There is data on the Hodgdon site for 4350 and 140gr bullets. Edited October 13, 2011 by Andy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks guys, I'll check that at home- everything's blocked at work. Another fella told me this: 52.5 to 54.0 MAX work up your load speed will be in the 2750-2850 region So at least I'll have a starting point...

coyotemaster Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Perhaps 4350 would be the better powder of the 2 for your application, it appears that Varget may be a tad fast--especially for the 140 gr. bullet. Newberry's(OCW fame) top load was 55gr. 4350 with a 130 gr. bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely I'll use 130gr SSTs this weekend, but would like to try the bergers out, unfortunately I only have the Speer manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
