20.0 gr. of AA2200 turned in the smallest three shot group at .235" c-c
14.5 gr. of Lil'Gun came in second with a group at 1/2" c-c

The LOL puts the bullet .007" short of the rifling in my rifle.
No indication of pressure issues with any of the loads.
3000 fps with a 50 gr bullet meets the energy requirements.

Big thumbs up for helping another shooter. You went to a bunch of work and spent a lot of time doing this so;
Kudoos!!!

Hi Johnly,
I have Lil'gun powder and CFE BLK is another I can use but I've had to get that on back order.

I'm very pleased with those performance figures you've obtained and can now get some rounds loaded for testing accuracy wise.
I picked up some Berger 52 grain FB Target bullets yesterday and will try those also.
I will start a couple of tenths lower than your numbers just to be safe.

You've done a great job for me in a very short time and it's been a tremendous help.
I very much appreciate what you've done for me.
Thanking you, Ken.
PS. If I can reciprocate in any way, plea3 let me know.
