IMR 4064 start with 46grs 150gr-225gr bullets and work up.
IMR 4320 47.5 start.
H 4350 55gr for 170gr bullet; 52.0 for 200 and 51.5 for 225gr bullet.

All bullets seated 0.03" off lands.

Personally use 53.0 grains 4350 with 180gr bullet for 2350fps. have had great success with this load and taken game from Springbuck to Oryx and Kudu. Later in the season hope to have a go at Eland.

Back off these loads by 10% and work up slowly. they have been built up in my firearms chamber!!!

Thank You for the loads. Were these in a contender?
