36 gr of H-335???? Wow...I am not sure if he can get 36 grains in a case, but if he has managed to do it, that would be one hot load. PA_ALLEN uses 30.0 gr to get 2765 fps out of a Barnes 100gr TTSX. (I killed my pig with this load.) PA_ALLEN uses 28.5 gr to get 2395 fps out of a Nosler 12gr BT. Those are loads he posted. Start low and work up.
I hope that the 36gr reference is a typo. With 30 grains in the case, there is definitely more room and if the OP compressed the load, 36gr may be a real number. Not a safe number, but it may be a real number. Be careful guys...you are dealing with very high pressure and metal that is next to your face and fingers. Be safe and live to hunt/shoot another day. You are not baking a cake. If something goes wrong you don't usually have the luxury of just dumping it in the trash and starting over.
Take Care,
