I took the 350l out for a little bit. I got some more 358-200gr RCBS hp made up and coated. I gave them a week to settle after checking and sizing to 0.356"
I loaded up 5 sets with 5744. Started at 23gr and went to 25gr. 24gr started to show pressure and 24.5 was FLAT. But 24 gr showed to be the best for this combo. This was shot at 100yds. Not the greatest but acceptable. A lot better than some others I have seen that are on Youtube shooting jacketed. And not so bad as it is a Bear Creek Arsenal barrel.
Next is to test with the small HP to see how it shoots. I still have to cast them up yet. I switched the pins over last night.
Another thing is I was able to go to 26gr with this powder before it showed pressure with the Lee 200gr bullet.
