Got an alternative to my Varget load I'm getting low on, in 348 using IMR 4350, and didn't waste a bunch of bullets finding it.
Initially loaded 2 a grain apart just to check speed and based on what I seen being plenty low I loaded the next one 2 grains higher to be able to check speed only when I went to test. Loaded 3 a full grain above that figuring I would still be fine on speed, then 3 more a 1/2 grain above that. So 9 total.
64.5 grains gave me 2536 average with a 10fps E.S. Should still be low pressure with that slower powder. I hit 2600 when testing with Varget with no issues.
Group measured .820 at 50 yds. Might of got last shot itis trying to get the last one in to see what it could do. Regardless, it probably shoots better than I can most days with iron sights.
I have it in my head that Big Game would be a good powder with mag primers and these 200 FP's. It sits halfway between Varget and IMR 4350 on the burn scale. If I come up with a can I might try that yet.
