Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles .358 winchester loads needed

any one using varget? have 225 grain nosler partitions and tsx. hodgen annual has loads with this powder, but not these bullets. nosler manual does not have varget. any info is appreciated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

mr308win In a 358 I had for a short time I used IMR3031.Worked OK. Maybe one of the guys in forum that use Quickload can help you out. Good luck

In general I like IMR 4895 for my 358 loads. However, I use IMR 4320 with Sierra's 225 BTSP for a very accurate load at optimal velocity. I would probably try either of these though, if Varget is what you want to use - and it is probably a good propellent, try giving Nosler a call.

I never could get the velocity from Varget that I wanted. TAC works very well and Xterminator even better in the .358.

I have just started trying Varget, so far it has proved very accurate with 200 grn Hornady SP, I have not cronoed it yet ,
I have been using IMR 4895 and 200 grn Hornady SP for a few years with outstanding results
I am interested in trying the Varget with the 225 partition and the 220 speer
The hodgden 2004 annual lists 49grns as max for 225grn
as does the Sierra volume V
Lyman #48 lists Varget for the 200,220&250 grn bullets
max loads are 54, 52 an 46 grns
so far varget is more accurate than my 4895 load but I have not shot it enough to come to any solid conclusions, as of late it has become a time thing hunting an working no time for range work.
