Sorry, just looked all through my woodleigh book and can’t find that caliber.

I haven't had a 3-1/8" rifle but have reloaded the No.2 quite a bit.
The usual smokeless load is with 4198 (H or IMR) and a filler - I use backer rod.
A good regulating load for the one double I had was 54grs H4198 and a paper patched 450gr bullet.
I would think that, if your rifle is nitro proved, you would be leaning toward a heavier charge and heavier bullet but 4198 can surely be used.
What rifle are you loading for?

Saves me looking. As far as I know there is only one edition.
Unfortunately they did not publish data for .375H&H either but there are probably many covered that are not listed in other manuals

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
