Your results may vary.

Think you can look, look, and look and at the most you will find 27.3 grains of Benchmark to be max you can find for the 40 grain bullet. If you decided to work up to that much powder be very careful. I get a snug bolt with 27grains in the summer so I have chosen 26.5 at a little over 3600fps. Newest Hornady manual only gives 26.4 for a max load.
