    In the past, burned a lot of AA2015 with jacketed in 7BRs and 7TCUs. Because I had some left over from my IHMSA days, tried it for BP-level loads in 45-70s...no significant improvement over IMR4198...

    Assuming that your M700 has its original barrel, that's a 1-10 twist so, at 2200 fps, you're pushing the top end of the velocity range for most .30 cal. cast boolits. I shoot that same 200 gr. Lee...

    I've got an '09 'Engineer' carbine that's one of my favorite milsurp 'shooters'. Lee 312-185 PC'd and sized .313 over 24-25 gr. 4198 will pretty much match ball ammo accuracy @ 100 yds.
