Title: Re: Reloading for 35/40 Krag Post by FredC on Oct 28th, 2015 at 10:42pm
Just got the Lyman book and it has 358W starting load for 220 grain bullets and Varget powder:
47 grain 36,200 cup with a velocity of 2278 That makes Hodgon's 45 grains look like a reduced load. The Hodgdon 225 grain bullet with 45 grains got a velocity of 2254 fps. 2200FPS is what I was hoping for when I started this project. About 1/2 way between 35Rem and 358W. Lots of interpolation and guess work going on here on my part. Is a 40K CUP load in 358W the equivilant of a 35/40? A definite maybe I guess. Maybe it depends on whose pressure barrel. I may end up proofing at 47 grains and using whatever between 40 and 45 grains gives the best accuracy. On another issue, is everyone else having to get a new password every time you log in? |
