Have any of you loaded 165-170 grain jacketed bullets in the 350 Legend using 'SBR Socom' powder, and if so, what results did you get from this combination?
350 Legend and SBR Socom powder?

No but 2400 was the stuff for the 125 gr Maker. Shot .037" and no group was over .7. Tore up 6" steel at 300 yds. Afriend may have tried socom and have a call out to him about it.

He says he did not try it.
I tested Lil-Gun, 4100, 5744, 2400, and 11FS with several bullets. 5744 and 4100 weren't good

SBR Socom powder is a product of 'Southern Ballistic Research' in Georga, and is offered both by them and by Shooters World. To my knowledge, it's the only Shooters World powder that isn't made by Lovex.

How was 11FS?

Never had socom. I did have many other Lovex made powders though. 11FS is nearly the same as H-110 but with a flash suppressant added. I tried it because the rifle had a short barrel and thought the FS might be handy. It shot well with Hornady 170, .262" and ES of 2. Most guys like Lil-Gun. It gave me a group of .007" but ES of 40.
Western Powders told me to use H-110 data for 11FS btw

I just emailed 'Southern Ballistic Research' and asked them if 'SBR Socom' powder will ever be made available again. So many powders and primers have become unobtanium these days.

Yeah, I got rid of most all my powders after hodgdon dropped a number of them and got greedy and went with just one brand. I wont be going back
