I have ordered some excellent brass by Norma and have a Hogedons Manual, also a Lee Manual, but neither offers any reloading data for IMR (Alliant) #4350. I plan to load 168gr. and 180gr. JHPBT & SPHP. Does anybody know anything about this or a recomended starting load?

    I've had bad luck with the 4350 in this gun. For some reason I keep getting powder blow by, staining the case and making my eyes water, with Norma brass. Just my two cents.
