deerjackie,

I think you might be having trouble finding data with 4350 and the 120 bullet.  I think that powder is a bit too slow for that case capacity and that bullet.  Yet, I suspect there is data out there.  Velocity will pobably suffer as a faster powder would be better...

Good-luck...BCB

According to Hodgdon's website, H4350 gives velocities for 120-grain bullets within 80 fps of their fastest load in the 7-08.   No one would ever notice such a trivial difference.

Hornady Seventh Edition lists AA 4350 for the 120gr V-Max (42.6gr start - 46.6gr MAX) but nothing for IMR 4350 or H4350.

You should be OK using Hogdon's data for the 120gr Nosler BT as long as you begin with the starting load and work up.
