I picked up a Hoch 360420 plan base mold the other day. It looks like it will cast a bullet weighing about 250 grains at .359"

It looks like it will be perfect for a heavy bullet load in my old Marlin 336A in 35 Remington. Anyone have any details on this mold?

I have Hoch mold 360268 , I use 38 grs. of AA2495, I know what your bullet looks like, I would use about the same load or start about 35 grs. of 4895. I shoot mine in a 28 Lb. bench bolt gun. You could put a gas check in backwards to stop the base from melting also.
