quickload for 30-40 krag Handi with 168 BT's?

[clearwater]

Bought batches of 168 grain BT's and CC's and want to develop loads for 30-40 krag.

Could someone run a quickload for me?

Looks like IMR 4350 is a good place to start, but would like to know of other powder options.

I'm not going to be any help, but I always thought a Ruger #1B in the Krag with 200 or 220 Partitions would be a spectacular dark timber elk rifle...

Super.

Thanks much. I have some of the 760, the A2520, and the old Norma 203 on hand.
