OK, I just received a barrel in .358 x 444 & I'm looking for load data. My primary bullet will probably be a 200 gr, but I may try & come up with a load for the Hornady 180 SSP bullet for goats or sheep (even caribou, basically a thin skinned long range load), or 220-225gr for moose so I'll listen to anything.

Hi Vance, I've been playing with IMR4198 and Hornady 180gr SSPs in my 358x444. This combo is working very well in my barrel. I have never tried the 200 grain bullets. I've also heard good things about Reloader7. Just haven't tried it yet.

Vance,
re7 has been stellaar for the 200's for me. 45 gr., but work up to that please. Over 2400 fps, put that's a 15" barrel. Very impressed with accuracy and pleasant recoil.

BTW, it's a "coyote guns" barrel I am testing.
