Does anyone have one?
Mine has a 1-9 twist barrel and trying to find a bullet and powder charge for it has really gotten me in the dark ( dumps).
The berger twist rate calculator recommends a 70 or higher grain bullet.
Have a NOE ( supposed to be 60 grain) bore rider that lubed and gas checked with my alloy comes in at 71 grains.
None of the books I have gives a load for a 70 grain cast bullet.
Does any one have a decent load that would share the data with me?

Just use Jax starting data for H322, H335, IMR 4198, or IMR 3031. That's what I've done with 60 and 68-grain cast (actual dressed weight in 9 twist) and it comes out about the same velocities as the data says. 3031 and 335 are top contenders for accuracy with the heavies in MY rifle, but it has a very long throat.
