The 4350 seems a bit slow for the 107 120 142. Last time I used it was with the 155 sierras. Varget 36 to 37 grains has worked for the 107 to 142. Before the varget I used and still use in some of my 260's or 6.5x243 as we used to call them is IMR 4064 and you should be able to start around 36 grains. Some don't like the way it meters but it is a very consistant powder in all temperature ranges and it fills the case up a bit more.
If you are going to try two different brands of powder I would caution you to check ,test, that the first shot or two after switching go where you wnat them to. In some of my experiments years ago it seemed that powder residue from one brand of powder could effect the first few rounds fired of the second powder. In other words it took a few shots to settle in to the new powder. Just like with the rimfire when you switch bullet brands it takes a few rounds for the barrel to settle in to the new brand.

Mr. Marvin I just want to say that your excellent craftmanship and gunsmithing skill's got me a 20 in standard and a 23 in hunter, with 5 rams in row in both classes. That gun can shoot, and I think Harry was a little jealouse that he didn't find this one before I did, I think he might have bought this one for Racheal Anyway I'm really happy that I was able to buy another one of your masterpieces.
By the way this may be a long shot, but I think I need a tad bit higher rings than the ones that are on there. It my just be my brain being used to the higher rings on my smallbore guns. What do you think? and do you have any higher rings in that style?
