One of the first things I tried was to follow through with the above suggestions but havent come up with anything on the Ruger site as of yet specefic to the 35berger itself.Walt has provided a lot of good data however his loads tend to be quite conservative and so they should be.In this case it may be best to quit lookig for the easy way out and do some experimenting on my own.Tested several powders at the range this week and discovered excellent results H4895 and Hodgens Benchmark which Im very happy with but is always fun to try new loads. Will report back if I find tried data for this bullet if I should come up with something along the line.

Craigster,would you by chance recall the COL. your using.The reason I asked when doing experimentation with my CZ 527 American I was shooting a load of 26.1 benchmark still seated a little short within the clip which shot only mediocore.I loaded same load again only COL was outside the confines of fitting the clip.Shot 5shot by single feeding into a tiny ragged hole.IVe got a little room left to seat and still fit clip but these things definitely can hold you back.

OAL on my loads with the 32 Vmax is 2.270". Hodgdon shows 2.250" as max, but the rounds @ 2.270" do fit the magazine in my CZ with about .030-.040" left.
