Going to try some .311 dia. 174 grain Serra Matchking hollow point boat tails. I have some data on some other 174 grain loads going to see how thay work with the MatchKings

The 174 HPBT matchkings should work a treat mate. I use them with 41 grains of Vihtavuori 140 and cci primers. Gives a velocity near enough 2450 fps. According to the data from the Vit  reloading manual 140 is similar to IMR 4320 Hodgdon H380 and hercules reloader 15. Should be easy enough for you to check the data out in your loading manual.

 The miltiary specs I have are cartridge MkV111 accepted 1938 smokeless powder load boxer or berdan primed 175gr pointed boat tailed with a MV of 2440fps.
