  • Saw your thread on the 350. I get .5 or better with the 350. I load for a friend who was ringing steel 6" steel at 300 with his. Your load came up with 43,800 psi in GRT so it should have been safe. I agree that you were in the lands. A lot of good info in the thread but I'll add a few things.
    1. Case length is absolutely critical to accuracy because the case headspaces on the mouth.
    2. Use a Lee factory crimp die and apply a firm but consistent crimp on top of the PDR band. Much better with the slow burning powders. (better ignition)
    3.While Lil-gun gives good speeds, it didnt give best accuracy in my friends Savage. It gave .5-.6". 2400 powder shot under .037" and 11FS powder shot almost as good. Another friend who reloads himself uses Lil-gun and best he can get is .7" out of his winchester rifle.
    I tested with H-110, 11FS, 5744, Lil-gun, 4100, and 2400.
    The 350 in a savage is capable of amazing accuracy as you've seen. Keep at it

    Thanks for the input from your experiences! Always want to hear what other’s are running into! Savage really does put out an accurate product. Was glad to hear that my original starting load should not have been over pressure, had I not likely put it in the lands.

    I would like to get ahold of some 2400 or 11FS but never see them in my area. Lil’ Gun almost never works out for me in the accuracy department, be it in .357 mag, 450 Bush or 350 Leg.

    Next load work up will be on a CVA Cascade in 350 Legend. Bringing more knowledge to the table this time!
