Not in a Survivor, just in a regular 22 inch Handi. I didn't do enough load development to make any concrete judgments, but a maximum load of H110 showed promise with 200 grain Beartooth WFNGC. I didn't do any reduced load work. Sorry, not much help.

Then I had the barrel rechambered to 35 Remington.

I've tried them, didn't like the results.  Mine shoots best with bullets in the 155-180 gr. range.  My standard load is a 165gr. gcfp cast over H110.  Yours might be different, but mine just doesn't like big bullets.
