Seafire, Do you know what the velocity is with the 30 grs. 4198/139 Hornady and 28 grs. 4759/115 Speer?
I have used 20 grs. 4759 and Lyman's 284308 GC bullet (160 grs.) for 1724 fps with fair accuracy but, the really fun load is 10 grains Unique and Lyman's 287346 GC (130 grs.) for 1327 fps. That last load gives squirrel head accuracy to 50 yards and it's fun, fun, fun. grin
