This little cartridge has taught me more about reloading than all the other chamberings I’ve worked on put together 😆. Was looking over my notes and noticed something interesting.

I’ve set my working load in my rifle with the 40 grain plastic tipped bullets (Interchangeable in between the Nosler Ballistic tip and the Hornady Vmax), 13.0 grains Lil Gun, CCI 450 primer.

My only wild card is the brass I use, and my velocity averages vary quite a bit in between brass brands. I’ve noticed up to 130 fps difference in my 10 shot strings. All velocities with a factory T/C stainless steel 21” barrel.

Here are my results

R-P 2886
W-W 2787
PPU 2756

We deal in lead, friend.
