Does anyone happen to have a pet load for this cartridge using that powder with a cast 225 grain boolit? Starting loads around 1500fps and maximum of about 2000fps is what I am trying to find. The IMR/Hodgdon site does not list this powder, nor do my reloading manuals.
Thanks in advance.

If no one answers with a definitive answer, use a 3031 starting load minus 7 grains. ... felix

I have shot 34 gr over a 240 gr boolit in the whelen. Very accurate and about 1900fps

That suggests a 30-32 grain range in the 308 sized case to get the same velocity. ... felix

H4895 has been the most acccurate for me. Start around 33 gns.
