just wondering if anyone had data or has loaded 35 rem 200 gr RCBS or 220 gr from Miha's mold using AA2520.
or what's your favorite powder and load for this?

Just looked at Western powders load data online and it has 3 loads listed for 35 Rem...you should check them out. Just Google Western powder load data. I use 2520 for 223 and 308/7.62.

I don't know what I was looking at when I first looked at the WP guide but see the loads now 34.2-38 grains for 200gr RCBS, 180 gr =35.1-39gr
so I'm guess--guessing I say, that 33 grains 2520 is a safe place to start with the 220 grain from Miha's mold. I should probably compare the bullets side by side and compare seating depth. time to christen this new mp mold.
I'm thinking even at 1800-1900 fps into the side of boiler room of a white tail should get the job done if the coyote's don't chase off all the deer this fall.

From the Accurate Smokeless Powder Loading Guide Number One (1994 –red book)
For the AA2520 powder (Gun: DOUGLAS, Barrel 24”, Primer: CCI200, Case: REM)
200 (L) FNGC RCBS 35-200FN COL: 2.410” Start: 34.2 grs, 1834fps Max: 38.0grs, 2084fps, 30,900PSI

But, it looks like you got it already.
