Yes, Paul uses 220grs bullets with 40gr 4350.  I was shooting Nosler 168s, at 2200fps or so with a powder that burns about 4198 speed.  The 168s have shown in long range shooting that they go through a bit of instability when transitioning down from Mach 2.  They'd have gone through that same barrier before 200yds at the speed I started them out.  I needed to get at least 2350fps to avoid that transition, and that would have required a slightly slower burning powder, which I didn't have at the time.  The load was super at 100yds, so I'm going to blame the transition.  I shot my usual sharpshooter level scores with the Garand, which takes some of the blame off my worm-eaten eyes.
