For a 35 rem 18.5" barrel , 205 gr boolit (saeco 351) 27.0 grs of 4895 and a wad of dryer lint to fill the empty space if it makes a difference?



Thanks,Tim

about 1300-1350 fps (rough estimate)

I'd say wiljen is pretty close. 27 gr milsurp 4895 runs 1600 fps out of my 26" barreled .35 rem with the 205 gr Lyman bullet. So with 7 1/2" less barrel velocity is going to be down around what wiljen says.

Thank you, That load is shooting well for me,I'm going to keep going with that powder till accuracy falls off and see how fast I can push that plain base boolit,I also tried 35 grs of 4350 for giggles, again accuracy was decent at 100 yds but not very efficient, lot of kernels in the barrel.
