Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 358 Win and 2495

I am looking for some info to load Accurate 2495 in 358 Win using 220 gr pills.
When I looked on-line all I can see is for the 308 and the 7mm-08.

Can someone suggest a starting load? Maybe 36gr?

Thanks ahead of time.

Closest I could find from the last Western manual... could do a little interpolation off the 225 Sierra data.

Can't read it to be able to interpolate. Recently did a deal at a LGS and came up with 3lbs of A2495. Tried it in a 308 Win, and a 9.3x57mm Mauser. Turns out I could live with this powder. A touch slower than IMR-4895, but very similar. Perhaps a bit easier to meter

Ah, sorry. I've had other people say the same from some of my screen grabs on here. Reads fine on my phone... the wonders of technology 🤷‍♂️

It reads 41.4 to 46.0 grains of A2495 with a 225 Sierra.

I haven't tried it in 358 Win, but it shoots extremely well in my 308 Win with 168gr Barnes, and in my 303 Savage with 130gr Speers and 110gr Sierras.

358.,

Here's a link to the Western Powders load data.

....OK, I got it...thanks to everyone.
I will start at 41.5 and work up.
