Not me. I looked around and did a few searches during my project, but with negative results.
Keep your powder dry,

Red Leg,
There are a couple of new bags on gunbroker right now.
I sold my .348 in 1975 for $400. and bought a new Marlin 444 with 4X Redfield scope and 4 boxes of Remington ammo. Never looked back.

I got a Browning 71 in 1999 - I went to the Hornady manual and chose winchester 760 (I like the way it runs through a measure and its one of their top load choices) once I tested the load, bought a stash of powder and brass, figuring that this beastie would be difficult to feed in the future. I use 58 grains of 760 under the Hornady 200gr SP for an explosive load and 56 grains under a 220 grain gascheck for tougher stuff - the GC load clocks 2350 FPS over my RCBS chrony.
4831 seems a tad too slow for this case - 4895 better - (I'll stick with the 760 till I run it out)
I've got the six cavity Lee C-350-225-FN to paper patch in the .35 Remington.
Got no idea how fast it will be able to be pushed but looking forwards to seeing what she'll do.
Gosh, hoping the mold throws big enough diameter boolits!
