I should like to use 325 gr/350 gr. hard cast in my 94. Do any of you have some suggestions about a huntingload for it? I will use Vihtavouri N110 or H 110.

What caliber?

For a Ruger equalivalent load, and that's what I load my Model 94 to, Hodgdon lists a maximum of 24.0 grains of H 110 for a 325 grain bullet and 21 grains of H 110 for a 360 grain bullet. For N110, I'd be hesitant to say, because as I'm sure you already know, VV doesn't list loads for any of their powders that exceeds SAAMI spcecifications.

I find good accuracy w/H110-22 gr. with 325 and 350 gr. Don`t think I will use any time for N110. But my "Chrony" said goodby some weeks ago - so I don`t know the loads velocity.

After several 5-shot groups - I ended with H110-21 gr. and 325 gr. bullet. Velocity is 1370 fps in average.
