The 348 WCF is relatively easy with 200-220-250 gr bullets. Keep within factory ballistic speeds, as even the M-71 will stretch cases.
Lever action rifles DO NOT respond well to hot-rodding. NOT necessary. Duplicate factory loadings in weights of bullets.
Since Hornady discontinued their 200 gr FP, its now a matter of availability-again. Barnes, Hawk, and Fury bullets.
Powders range from IMR 4895-RL 15,19-4350 and H-4831 sc-H 4831 sc is an accurate powder in the 348 and 33 WCF.
Hawk-Fury-Barnes are delivering bullets, but be prepared for delays. Put out WTB ads in classified sites-for bullets.Take what you can get..
FURY Bullets: In 348, Fury Bullets in Michigan make a bonded 348 in 220 gr weight. This weight is about perfect,
and is close to the older Peters 210 gr inner-belted bullet of the 1940s and 50s.
Furies are well made. When ordering, ask for a nose diameter reduction past the ogive
including the entire nose toward the flat point of the bullet.
