I have had some interest in lower velocity, low pressure, and low recoil loads so I thought I would give a couple of unlikely powders a try in this little marvel. Guess what; it shoots everything I load it with!! I picked up some 130 ELDMs and some Varget and RL16. I made a guess at where to start and loaded up the Varget starting at 43 grs. and up to 48. I then loaded the RL16 starting at 47 and up to 51 (both in 1 gr. increments) I decided to throw in some RL26 to see what it would do with this lighter offering (54-59 grs.) My plan was to chromo first and see where I was and do some more testing later if things looked promising. I randomly chose a load in the middle of each of the Varget and RL16 and loaded 3 ea. for group (45 grs Varget and 48 RL16 and a coal of 2.771" which was identical to the 147's that shot so well. I chose Varget and RL16 as they are known to be insensitive to temp swings. I was pretty sure it would take about 54 grs of RL26 to make 3000' and it would probably max near 60 grains. The actual on 54 grains was 3008" and 59 grains made 3289' with a little room left (SMOKIN")! Below are the results of everything tested. The fast powers are a very pleasant surprise and look very promising. The RL16 and Varget charges were both moderate pressure. I plan on adding some H4895 to the mix soon since the others did so well.
