dla,

To be honest I couldn't tell any difference in accuracy between half and full grain increments with that combination.

That's interesting about the velocity swing using the FCD, I'll have to keep that in mind. Come to think of it that could be why I had some pretty smoking velocities with H322 when I used it in the 30/30. Hmmm...

My GG wears XS peeps and I never did serious work with a scope for load work up but three shot groups were around 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches at 100 yds. which more than satisfied me for the ranges I use the rifle.

Hope you find the sweet spot.
