<mark s>.350 Rem. Mag loads
Anybody have a favorite .350 Rem. Mag. load they would like to share? I will be getting Remington's new Guide Gun in .350 and am interested in what you might have. I'll be using primarily 225 gr & 250 gr bullets - sometimes 200 gr. Thanks for your help, Mark
For the 200 gr. Hornady, 200 gr. Rem. PSP, or 220 gr. Speer FN, I have had excellent results with Rem. brass, Fed. 210 primer, and 56.0/IMR-4320. All of these made a number of 5-shot 100 yard groups under 1". The 220 gr. Speer is a real meat grinder on deer and feral hogs, and I won't be using it again. I haven't tried either of the 200 gr. bullets on game yet. I had good luck on a black bear with the 250 gr. Speer spitzer with the lead tip cut off so I didn't have to seat the bullet quite so deep. I seated them at 2.79" overall. The load was the same except 55.0/IMR-4320. My rifle is the Rem. 700 Classic.

Jesse JaymesI like Varget and I'd start at 57 grains. My gun max's at 60.0 in fall weather, but I can seat to 3.00". Either Nosler or Sierra spitzers. The Sierras are harder than you think.

Alaska Bush ManI use 56.0 of IMR 4320 and Fed 215GM primers with 250 grain Speer Spitzer. Excellent load in the 350 Rem Rem 600 for large game.
mine would be nosler 225's, rem 9.5, and win 748. 2.8" oal. i will let you work up to the final weight charge but i load over book a little bit and no signs of excess pressure. 2700 fps should be attainable.
enjoy the round. there is no better!
