More expensive to feed, but worth it.

This data is from my 1992 1st edition Barnes reloading manual. It does not state which specific bullet, only the weight.
Using IMR 4350... 49.0 grs.@ 2729 fps. to 53.5 grs.@ 2937 fps. with 140 gr. bullets.

My #26 Hodgdon manual show only bullet weight, not brand or type.
Using H4350...51.0 grs.@ 2732 fps. to 54.0 grs.@ 2957 fps. with 140 gr. bullets.

Both books state test barrels are 22 inches, kind of short for this hot rod round.
