I shoot 400 grain Speers over 55 grains of Varget in Starline cases and a CCI 200 primer in my Marlin. Accurate, packs a wallop at both ends. I am going to go to a milder load when I have time to work at it a little.
I shot hundreds of animals with that bullet and it is paper thin in the jacket and too light for any dangerous game. I would also recommend loading it back to about 1600fps to maintain integrity. At 1900fps it opens too much and loses penetration, at 2400fps it often dissapears in a puff of blue smoke and never reaches the target.
