No filler in any of my loads. 35 grains is what I use as a starting load in all my milsurps with IMR4350. The old 3rd edition Lyman manual seems to show that as a starting load in 30-06 and other rounds.

That same charge I use in .303 with the 314299 Lyman mold and its also fantastic.
Well done and great report
I shoot a 8x57IR in my Krieghoff Drilling but it
takes the smaller diameter bullet

What's not to like!
Since my 88's have the original barrels on them and slug to .321, I size my heads to .323.Originally Posted by skeettx
Why not try "the load"? Start with 16 grains of 2400 under any boolit up to 170 grains (although I've used heavier with good results). I finally ended up shooting 17.5 grains for most of my military rifles as the recoil is minimal and accuracy is good.
I want to try to get close to the original round with the cast, gas check and powder coating. I'm not really worried about recoil. The results I have been getting has been great as well.
