Mal , thanks for heads up! I've been looking for this for a while now and jumped on it when I saw your post.
Here is the Penta version of the MP 358-200 GC HP.

I really wanted that 4 cav with penta.
I grabbed the 2 cav cause thats what he made first. It didnt list penta. But to my delight I got penta small and large hp pins. Not too upset with a 2 v 4cav. But I alleast have my long awaited mold!!!

I've got 560 of them gas checked, sized and lubed. I could really use more Brass!
I got them going nose first through the Star sizer this time and the results are much better.

Any updates with data? I'll be loading some with Unique soon.
I am using 1680 & RL 7 with the 200 gr RCBS
I'm going to grab some RL-7 too.

My 350L accuracy issues were with the scope which is on it's way to be repaired but I'd already assembled a ladder of loads with Accurate 1680 powder based on 357 Maximum load data. The cartridge volume is similar to the 350 Legend and the max load they showed was 36,000 psi which sounded safe in a 55,000 psi cartridge. The chronograph was fussy and my plans of testing accuracy at the same time failed as I shot the same target over and over to get the chronograph readings. I was pushing the same 35-200 gas check RCBS clone. The top load was a nearly full case of powder and made 2118 fps average for a 10 shot group. The SD was 12 with a spread of 28 fps among 10 shots. I think I am kissing the 55,000 MAP and one grain back looks really good too. Two 10 shot groups came in at 2033 with total spreads of 28 and 36 fps! At 2,000 fps it zeros at 50 and 100 yards, 3" down at 150 and 10" at 200. I think I found my powder. I don't have the pressure test equipment to tell you this is safe so I won't publish loads but the info is out there.
I shot one 4 shot group (some of my ladder so I was stingy) while I was waiting for cease fire, just under 3/4" @ 50Y.
