    More gleaning…

    Lube was FWFL Javelina, or White Label 2500+ (FWFL was best).
    Sub MOA speeds with a 24" barrel were pushed to 2400FPS with a 14 twist
    SUB MOA speeds with a 21" barrel were pushed to 2100FPS with a 14 twist

    3031 and 4895 have given excellent results, but 4198 sucked rocks and turned my precious groups into shotgun blasts.

    No other boolit has performed even close the RCBS 35-200-FN for me. I tried the 358009, RCBS 35-250-FN, Lyman 358318, and many others I can't remember right now. Some were satisfactory, others were problem children, but the 200gr RCBS is just a miracle boolit.
    If you fit it to the rifle like I mention in the sticky "just a few tips for new rifle casters" you will be golden.

    358 Win with IMR4064

    I understand this post is a year old - but I thought I'd ask.

    Was this velocity shot over a chronograph or just book predictions? If so, I feel there is something not right. Because recently I've shot this same bullet with 42.0 grains Of IMR4064 and it is pushing close to 2350 fps over a Lab Radar, and this has been pretty spot on for me with bullet drops on my long range rifles out to 800 yards.
