The nice thing about Barnes is their load data is available to anyone with a computer. H4350 is listed in their data. If you have a bunch of it, that is where I'd start. Makes it easy. It seems like a lot of you guys want a recipe handed out to you on a golden platter, but what you don't realize is every rifle is different and it's own entity when it comes to what it likes. You will have to work up a load, unless you are happy with just mediocre. The same can be said for seating depth. Your rifle may like .025" off the lands and another one will prefer .100" off the lands. There is a reason why those that know, say to "work up" a load. Work up a load...
