what is a good load for the 300Gr Rem and H322 powder? And does it matter if I used the standard Fed primer or the Fed Mag primer as I have a surplus of mag Primers lol.

This is what Hodgdon says.

Thank You everyone in advance. :)


On a side not lol. I am only going to shoot these for hunting for right now till Ranch Dog has some more 350Gr molds.

And another note lol. THIS SITE IS KILLING ME LOL. I just had to go to Cabela's today as I had a $150.00 certificate if I purchased something over $500.00 so they had a 1894 SS Marlin Guide Gun for $520.00 so I got that and then had the certificate of which I purchased powder and bullets lol. I think it was a good day but I could be wrong lol. At any rate I have a new toy lol. :)

I know this but lol. I have a hard enough time with a two hole mold much less think of a six hole mold lol. :killingpc

I have never reloaded or even cast UNTIL THIS SITE LOL. And purchased the 1894 Marlin SS in .44 Mag lol. And then I Jumped off the Cliff lol.

But I will say I have learned a bunch. Well maybe not to spell better lol. But reloading. I started with an old RCBS the one before the Rock Chucker heavy duty forget the number I got used from an older genteleman along with a RCBS 10-10 scale Along with the RCBS powder measure and learned quickly this single stage is for the birds lol. Then got a Lyman T mag II turret press and then thanks to this site heard of the Lee Classic Cast Turret so I have that one now as well lol. So my little 3 foot long reloading bench is to say the least a bit overwhelmed lol.
