    I have been using 35.5 of H-380 with Rem 9 1/2 M primers. With 55 gr. Blitz kings or Horn SPSX Jacket. out of a 27" tube

    BUT I recomend that you use regular primers with that load and bullet type. until you work up with mag primers. I try and use the rule of thumb that mag primers will add 1/2 grain of powder charge, Important to remember the Blitz kings and SPSX bullets have an extreamly thin jacket!!! on a hot day if you go over that load your bullets will vaporise.!!!!! It is not a max load but it seems H380 can get a little weird on a very hot day. be safe

    BTW keep that bullet type 3400 fps or under!!!!

    Out of my Rem 40x it is a tack driver.

    I got that load from a few hard core varmint hunters. It works! But like I was saying, I have seen a few guys push that load to much and the bullet just cant take it. I still have yet to try the A-max bullet. in my 250-
