350gr Load Data

[TomGun]

I have a couple boxes of Alexander Arms 350gr spitzer and thought it would be a fun round to reload. I contacted AA and asked them if they sold the 350gr spitzer projectile. I figured it was possible, since they had the load data for it on their website. They said, "The did not sell them" and they gave me no further info. I found the Lehigh Defense website and their projectile looked like the AA version. I ordered the Lehigh Defense 350gr Match Solid bullet. I did a pull down on an AA factory 350gr spitzer cartridge and compared it to the Lehigh Defense 350gr Match Solid bullet. The AA 350gr spitzer and the Lehigh Defense 350gr Match are one in the same. They also have a couple other bullets that seem interesting, especially the Xtreme Penetrator 350gr. They are a bit pricey, but then again you can load only so many 335gr Rainers, before you need to try some thing new.

I may have to look at what else Lehigh offers. I have a bunch of their Xtreme Penetrators and Xtreme Defense for my handguns though. For this rifle other than some lighter plinking rounds I am mostly interested in bigger bullets like 440gr, 500gr and I think I'll experiment a little with the 700's.

I ended up calculating the decrease in powder per increase in bullet weight for the load data I had and came up with something like 19.1-22.8 gr. I already look loaded them up and I'll watch fo pressure signs. My biggest concern is spinning the coating off these bullets though.
