I'am just getting started with my 10mlII and I have imr4198 and some ftx325 grain bullets on hand. I shot a 4 shot group with 65 grains and orange mmp sabots, if i take the first shot away I would of had a 3 shot group of just over 1 inch. I was wondering just how high I can go with this powder, is the preasure on these bullets similar to the 300 grain options. I know recoil will be a factor,but I'am a big guy and can handle it. I dont have a chrono so I have no idea of my fps,but if someone out there uses a similar load I would like some input. Thanks

I use 70 gr of H4198 and this is safe in my gun. Check the loads section for advice on which one you should use a few grains less of. One of them is a little faster I think.
You've picked a winner for a good shooting bullet.

General wisdom was that IMR4198 is a tad hotter than H4198 so reducing max loads by 2 grains when using the IMR version is common.

what kind of speed can I expect with say 67 or 68 grains of imr 4198 and the ftx325

You may want to try some Harvester BCR (Black Crushed Rib) sabots and see how they shoot compared to the mmp's.

I have tried that combination and they fit to tight in my barrel. I can hardly get them loaded. The mmps are just a little thinner and they load much better. I have the blue barrel and people seam to think that these are a little tighter then the ss barrel.
