[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1308547, member: 2736"] I just finished my rifle and chronographed the pistol loads in it and was very pleased. Looks like H110 or Lil'gun is the best powders. Be sure that you use magnum bullets (Like the XTP MAG) because of the velocity. I looked at rifle powders and the case does not have enough case capacity to bring the pressure up to 55,000 psi (460 SAMMI pressure). Factory 200 grain pistol loads developed 2933 ft/sec in my 23" barrel and 2067 ft/sec with 300 grain bullets using Lil'gun. I have a 1 in 16 twist and the 200 grain bullets did great at 100 yards but I don't think they will stay accurate @ 200+yards so I plan On using the 300's or the 325s for longer shots. The pistol loads did not have any muzzle blast, so the rifle is consuming all of the powder in the 23" barrel. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
