Man, I'd have to check my load data at my house, but I typically use Starline brass, with either Speer 350gr JHP or a Missouri Bullet Company Crusher 400gr lead projectile. Not sure if it's me or my load, but results so far I'd deem "acceptable" but with room for improvement. I also recently got some T&B bullets 400gr coated as well but I haven't tested those yet.

My favorite I've loaded is Starline brass, Berrys 350 plated, over 42gr. H-110 charge. Burns clean, reasonably accurate, lots of fire, and sounds like a howitzer... as most do. Lol

That sounds pretty close to what I'm doing. I just hate to quote a recipe without checking my real notes. I am using H-110 though.
