100 grain projectiles, anyone have a good load?
You can start with the 125 gr. loading

then you should be able to work up, if that's what you want. BlC-2 is pretty bulky and forgiving, would provide a brilliant muzzle flash, even in daylight! LOL I really like H322 and AA2520 did real well too. My son killed a Ram at HHC with his a couple years back. He used the 150 gr. Speer and H4895 powder. Velocity was around 2400 fps from the 12" barrel.
It was his second handgun animal at a HHC.
His first was a little Russian Hog using a 7mm-08 and 120 gr. at about 2500 fps and a little bit longer barrel using a MOA Maximum handgun.

Great start. I’ve worked some 130 grainers, but was going to play with some 100. I have some fireformed already, going to dial some in. I’m pleased with the 30 in a marlin 336. When seeing the 476 GNR, by comparison, then thought “Oh Man!” Pictures are one thing but relative comparison is a whole other influence. How to break in 2020, with a next purchase???? Thank you.
I can't argue that it might be one of the best choices

for a one gun rig for my boy. He can always shoot Wal-mart .30-30 through it too. I am partial to my 7mm version, the 7 GNR.
I took the .476 GNR up as a challenge. With TrailBoss and .480 Ruger bullets it is a total pussycat. A 10 yr. old could shoot it. Then I could pummel one with a 500+ gr. load if you were a true masochist. In the middle, a 400-425 gr. load at 1500 fps is easy to shoot and will blast through a Buffalo nose to tail. As much fun as you can stand, you only need a bit of creative imagination.

Through a buffalo , oh man!!! That’s what I’m talking about.
38 grains of H322 will give you 2775

33 grains of 4198 will give you 2710. And 39 grains of AA 2520 will get you 2775. Drop those loads by 3 grains and work up.
I’m thinking on sending a Marlin for that
