I shot three loads of H-4350
95.0gr 2635fps
97.0gr 2702fps(Barnes starting load)
100.0gr 2794fps(2gr under max)
All loads were using 215 primers and Norma brass. The gun was a 23" Ruger RSM.I didn't test for accuracy as I was just seeing how fast these will go. No pressure signs yet so I might try 101 and 102 grains just for fun. The recoil was noticably more as I went up in speed but still not bad standing up. My prefered load was the lightest for consistency. 1fps spread on three shots. The others were all about 15 fps or less.I will try to get out and test the rest soon.

Woody,

I have shot Gemsbock, Hartebeast, Cape Buffalo and Bison with the Barnes X 350 at 2700 fps. Accuracy and bullet performance is superb. No need to go faster to be highly effective.
