I got about 1850 to 1900f/s Did not care for the loads much. I use imr3031 and get around 2100f/s with 200gr sierras out of a 760 remington. very accurate at 100yrs.

it looks like 3031 is only 1-2 powders slower then H322 on the chart, so I'll have to try it too. I've found refrence to 40 grns of H322/200grn in several books for contender loads. I worked up to 40 in a marlin with no stickiness of the lever, but the primers starting to flatten. 39 grns gave over 2200 fps with a 200 grn in both a marlin and a carcano I barreled for a lark to 35 rem. The carcano seats a spitzer well out, but vel was similar. I'll try 3031, not looking for more vel, just a good accurate load.
