Anyone got a favorite load for this round using IMR or Hodgden powder? Trying to find a accurate load.. Thanks

Good luck on that. The 3 M95s I have slug out at .330, .331, and .333. I have brass still on order, so I don't have any loads for you.

Here's a load from a site that I use. I recommend dropping 4 grains and working up as it is a heavy load.

 

 

 

205gr Hornady IMR-3031

 

Charge wt. 44.0 Gr.

 

Velocity 2270 FPS

 

Energy 2346 ft. lb.

 

Barrel length 19.0 inch

 

3.000 OAL

 

 

This load was developed using Hornady spire-pointed, jacketed, soft-point, flat-based bullets.

In terms of power, the developer considers this a heavy load.

The velocity measurement is by chronograph.

Graf cases and Winchester LR primers were used in development.
