Hello all.
This is my first post here, & I hope it's in the right place. If not just let me know.
I picked up a 15" 450 Marlin barrel for my Encore & started playing with it yesterday. Using 370 cast (from Performance Cast) bullets for now.
I'm looking for load suggestions. I started with Varget & I'm at 58.5 gr. It's pleasent to shot & a compressed load, but I'm afraid I'm going to run out of case capacity before I get the velocity I'm hoping for. I'm at 1713 fps & hoping for close to 2000.
I guess H 322 will be next.
Hopefully this will be my barrel for a brown bear hunt coming up in May.
Thanks,
Vance
