I ran out of IMR 4064 so I used IMR 4350 and this power did not group well

You'll have deer in the freezer or groundhog in the blender with that kind of shootin'. Were you firing at a hundred yards?

Yes 100 yards ... IMR 4350 is kind of unusual power ... It the slowest burning of all the IMR powers and it turns out it was a compred power load I never done that before and I didn't like it ... Using 4350 wasn't very accurate don't know why would not recommend using it ... The very best power I have used is IMR 4064...H 380 I shoot on my old 8 MM because 380 has lower pressure with the same velocity ... Small ring Mausers are not that strong ... H380 goes through my power measurer like melted butter and is very consistent .. Good power and it was very accurate in my 30/40 ...

110 grain hollow points ... I had these for my M1 Carbine and tried them and found to be the most accurate in the 3 rifles i got .. they should not be accurate there soft lead and get all bent up and the heavy bullets should be the most accurate I dont why the 110 grain HP shoot good and they make very nice round holes I can see with my cheep spotting scope ...
