I'm thinking about another trip to Africa to hunt buffalo. Last time I used factory 300 grain TSX loads in my CZ 550. They shot well and gave good performance on game. This time I thought I would use handloads and would like to get at least 2500 fps.
In The Big Book of Gun Gack you list a 300 grain TSX load with 75 grains of H4350 at 2410 fps from a 22 inch barrel. Is it reasonable to think I might get 2500 fps from a 24 inch barrel with this load? I realize every rifle is different but 2410 seems a bit slow. Did you run out of room for powder or were there other reasons this was your max?
The Barnes website lists velocities over 2500 fps for a 300 grain TSX with RL15, Big Game and Varget (all of which I also have) but they don't list a load with H4350.
I would appreciate advice on which powder might be the best for my purposes.
