A favorite .348 load? .35 Remington?

Post by Henry McCann »

I'm going to reload for the first time...these are the two cartridges. I have a 24" barreled Browning 71 and two 336A's in .35 Remington, also with 24" barrels.

I've read about lots of loads and powders for these cartridges, but I need to start simple. Can I get by with one powder for both, or would 2 or more powders be better?

Appreciate the help!

.348, 200gr Jacketed or 210gr cast, 65grs of AA3100. 2450fps and 1" 100 yard groups.

.348, 250gr Barnes or cast, with 58grs of AA3100. 2100fps and 1 3/4" 100 yard groups.

.35 Rem, 200gr jacketed or 215gr cast, 37grs H322. 2100fps and 3/4" to 1" 100 yard groups.

I would personally go with 2 different powders. The .348 likes a fairly slow powder and the .35 likes one a bit faster.

I don't have a .348 win. For the .35 Rem 38 gr. H4895 under the 200 gr. RN (Hornady or Remington). I use the CCI200 primer.
Sincerely,
