There is a good bit of info here on the Fire about this in not-so-old threads...here's an older thread if you haven't found it yet: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/2291495/1


I did a little research and found some 180 grain data from the Barnes #3 using H4198 and 180 grain bullets that look really good. I’d love to get my hands on the 200 grain data using the H4198 beings I have several pounds of it and currently run it in a couple of rifles already.
