I use an NOE cast boolet of 286 gr, that comes out of my mold at 293 gr, magnum primers, 36 gr IMR 4198, sized to .368. Works for me.

Can you elaborate a bit? I am waiting for the brown truck to deliver a new to me rifle in this chambering.
Velocity?
Barrel length?
Bore diameter of your rifle?
Twist rate?
Why magnum primers vs standard?
Gas checked or plain base version of the NOE mold?
Thank you for your time.
Thanks for posting.
I use a cz550. Bore is 366 24 inch barrel, 1 in 14 twist (I think). I have done a bunch of testing, the magnum primer gives better accuracy than standard. I use the gas check mold, seems to work well.
36 gr of IMR 4198 give me about 1800 FPS, although I haven’t tested in a while.
I use LBT blue and size to 368. I’d like to try 369.
