Barnes 41185 XFB 350 gr.

Looking for load data for Barnes 41185 XFB 350 gr. in my Browning Hi-Wall. Seem to be discontinued by Barnes. No data on their Websight or Hodgdon data center.

Barnes data....

I have the Barnes #3 manual, what cartridge do you need data on for this bullet?

Struck out, neither Barnes #2 or #3 manual have any data on the 405 Winchester at all. I have the old John Barness article on the Ruger No. 1 in 405 Win around here somewhere, don't remember any X bullets being used in it, but will look for the article and let you know.

Thank you. All data points help. Found data in my old Ideal & Lyman manuals, Hodgdon's data page, Ken Waters 'Pet Loads'. Along with Burn Rate and Bulk Density charts, I have enough to get started. Powders I have on hand that look like viable options are 4198, 3031, Varget, Benchmark,4895.

From an older Dave Scovill article he says that no factory loads were offered with over 300 gr bullets. He lists the loads below for 270 and 300gr bullets. Ought to be able to pull some starting loads from these.
