    I have loads for 45 grain, 50 grain, 53 HP, 55 grain and 60 grain Soft Points.

    My dad used lots of IMR4198, 3031, 4064, 4895, 4320 so if you need anything else besides H380 or BL-C2 I've got this info.

    loads were developed for a custom mauser action with 24" barrel.

    Let me know if I can help.

    Hi The latest Sierra reload data favors the 4895 powder for both
    hunting and accuracy loads.

    eg. 50 gr bullet 26.7 grs 4895 3400 fps accuracy load.
    27.9 grs 4895 3500 fps hunting load

    55 gr. 26 grs 4895 3200 fps accuracy
    27 grs 4895 3300 fps hunting

    thought so, i was gonna buy a breack down single shot, but didnt know that at the time.. ive cursed myself ever since... i love the old varmint cartridges.. i also think many match shooters can learn alot about the oldsters.. Tubb uses an updated, "outdated" cartridge to punch holes at 1000 meters
