    It can be used very satisfactorily in almost any cast rifle caliber.

    My 218 Bee really shines with 11.5 grs. of IMR4198 pushing a NOE 45gr. gas checked WFN boolit using a 6 1/2 rem. primer.

    That's good to know, I have a .218 Bee I have not started loading with cast, but use that 45 grain WFN NOE in .22 Hornet. Mine is all plain based, maybe I can get a gas checked version of it for this.

    IMR-4198 and the Krag are made for each other, with cast boolets. I even use it for 200 gr boolets. Lyman #3 has it listed to pretty high velocities but not for the 200 grs. They switch to way slower powders. I'm only trying for 1800 fps with the 314299's
