Final R&D before the season
I loaded and shot the IMR 4198 loads that had proved best from previous testing to confirm. This time I only used the Federal brass and Federal Match primers. Voila, one of those things worked because the extreme spreads went from about average 120 to average 28...
Best accuracy to date with the two powders I have to work with (H322 and IMR 4198) is with the TTSX 180 grn and 40.0 gr 4198. That's my only consistent 1.0 MOA load and only runs 2535 fps. (Slower loads are more accurate). Strangely, the same powder charge with the 200 grain Hornady bullets...
I've now had time to get my rifle and collect some useable powders and bullets. Over a few range sessions I've compiled some useable (for me) data, still looking for the end result of one or two final contestants so I can quit all the R&D which I enjoy but has to end someday.

If anyone has recorded accuracy testing results along with the chronograph data I'd love to see it. I'm told to expect still another 6 weeks wait for my rifle (business is good) and so would like to see what you all have found in accuacy results with all of those loads. Otherwise, I have to...
358 stuff
It's nice to see some tested load data. Disappointed that I won't have my shiny new 358 Hoosier for a while yet, but see that there are no components available anyway. I've started searching early. I'm surprised to not see IMR 4064 or Varget included in the load data. Is that...
I've read several posts discussing this cartridge, and know it's been in development in various places for a while. Is anyone offering complete rifles in this caliber? If so, thanks for letting me know where to look. I'm new to the forum and might have just not known where to look. I'd think...
