Searching for Load Data for 224 Clark

Cannon Ball

I recently purchased a Remington Model 700 chambered in 224 Clark at an estate sale. It also included the reloading dies and 200 Clark 80 gr. Bullets. Unfortunately there was no reloading data included. I have searched the internet for loading data and only found info regarding the history of the 224 Clark and one load for the 80 gr. Bullet (51.5 grs. of H-4831).

If there are other 224 Clark reloader's out there, I would appreciate additional load data.

cannon Ball,

I found the following data in the 7th Edition of Cartridges of the World,

53HP IMR 4064 47.0 Gr. 4210 fps
60HP MRP 55. Gr. 4050 fps
63SP H-4831 54.5 Gr. 4000 fps
70SP H-4831 54.0 Gr. 3860 fps
80SP H-4831 51.5 Gr 3540 fps
85SP H-4831 51.0 Gr. 3510 fps

I hope this is of some help to you.

Cannon Ball,

I've loaded for the Clark and at least 2 other variations of this cartridge. Currently, I'm shooting a 22-6mm AI which has a bit more powder and a true 40 degree shoulder and a 22-243 AI with a true 40 degree shoulder. Powders that will work well in your rifle should be:

Re-22
Ramshot Magnum
V V N-165
AA-3100
H-4831SC

This is based on the longer 75 and 80 gr. bullets. I would save the Clark bullets since they are collectible and there is a good selection of suitable bullets available today.

This data is from another source:

80 grain Sierra HPBT using Winchester cases, and Federal 215 primer is and a final case capacity of 62.0 grains of water. These cases are made from RWS brass necked down, neck turned, fireformed and then annealed for final sizing. Start 10% lower and work up carefully looking for signs of pressure:

50.0 grains IMR 7828 - 3,557 fps
51.0 grains IMR 7828 - 3,650 fps
52.0 grains IMR 7828 - 3,719 fps (Maximum)

55.0 grains H1000 - 3,629 fps (Maximum)

Best.
