Where did you come up with the specific charge of 26gr of IMR4350?

You could get away with 27.0gr of H4895 and work your way up from there, but I wouldn't dream of doing it with either IMR4350 or H-4350 or any less amount of H4895.

Talk to the folks at Hodgdon and ask them why drastically reduced loads are a very bad thing.

A hint- Hodgdon found that H-4895 could be reduced UP TO 60% of the maximum charge of H4895 for any given rifle cartridge. Any less than 60% could cause dangerous pressure excursions as well as parts of the rifle and your body going on their own excursions, causing you to go on an excursion to either the hospital or the Medical Examiners office for your last butt wipe.

But then, your mileage may vary 'cause God looks after certain groups of folks.
