If it's anything like my buddy's T/C bbl, it will have a freebore of around 0.400" long. Almost impossible to get a boolit to shoot well at top end speeds. We have been shooting a 358627, sized at 0.360, and seated out to alittle below the bottom CG. It actually touches something and engraves. I believe his last load was around 36 grains of H322, but work up your own based on your gun. The last groups I saw him shoot were doing about 1 1/4" at 100 yards. His normal jacketed hunting load does an even inch on demand. Here's a pic of the boolit/mold.

Without checking my books for exact loads I remember a gravel making load using the 280gn Lyman rn and I think Reloader #7.
I remember taking my TC to the beach at low tide and using that load to make small rocks from large ones, thus the gravel load.
If your interested in making gravel I will look up the load. It was accurate enough to crack melon sized rocks way past 100 yards.
