Would help to know what powders you have. RL26, H1000, N565, N560, RL23, H4831 seem to be the most popular.

I have some H1000 and some rl22 but I was really hoping to find something for 4350, I have lots of that.

 

[ridgeline300]

It will work but will be very slow.

Here you go dude.

Hornady 143gr ELD-X - 2.950 OAL
gr	47	48	49	50	51	52	53	54
H4350		2833	2890	2943	2992	3022	3084	3113

Plenty of velocity there... but it's on the fast side for that bullet. It might be finicky to get it to shoot well. Orange means slightly heavy bolt lift was felt. Red is way hot.

This data was collected in a SAAMI chamber, short action, 2.950" OAL, 26" benchmark barrel, ADG brass. It's meant as a guide only. Use at own risk.

If you are worried about barrel life, H1000 is a much better option for that class of bullet.

I use H-1000, but as mentioned, H-4350 will work.
How many rounds down the barrel all together?

Holy crap that's a pile of rl26. I run 55.5 and and on the warm side. 2815 in a 18" and 2915 in a 22".

I run 57.0 RE26 under a Berger 156 EOL that's .010" of the rifling in a 23.5" Proof barrel. The load clocks 2,980 ft/sec with single digit SD. It regularly shoots under 2" at 400yds.

Yes I worked up a load for this last year using H1000 that shot well. I called burger tech support for load info. Mine is a pretty hot load but under their max I had heavy bolt lift at 60 grs. Back it down 3 grains and work up from there. I had good groups and 2936 fps avg so I was happy with it.
