Default 1894 Diamond Jubilee

First off nice rifle. I picked up a nice 1894 D.J. shooter last summer. Lucky for me it came with brass, bullets and dies. I already had a Lee mould to cast for my brothers .375 Winny Big Bore.
For the 220gr FN Hornady I’m loading 34.7grs of IMR 3031. This load dropped a moose in his tracks.
I have a Lyman 250gr gas check mould amd sizing die on order which I’ll be using in both the 1894 and 1885 High Wall. Powder will be IMR 4198.
I might have a set of Lee dies I’m not using if interested.
