    sounds okay, i'd back it down to about 40.0 to start, and work with it.

    Default I load for this round!

    These are my results fired in a Budapest M95 carbine with a superb condition barrel.

    Brass used: Privi from Graffs
    Primers = Wolf LG

    .330 Hornady 205 grain bullet 41.6 grains IMR 3031 @ 2189 fps
    Standard deviation = 59 fps.

    .329 LEEcast 205 grain bullet 43 grains IMR 8208-XBR @ 2146 fps
    Standard deviation = 49 fps.

    I tried a couple of other powders, but have settled on these two as my accuracy loads. Grouping averages 1.75" for each at 50 yds.
