I started with 34.0 gr of LiL'Gun for ten rounds and went up a half grain in weight for each ten loadings.
Finished off at 36.0 gr for final loading of ten. For a total of five different loading.
Now to the range for testing.
Mark-
I'm curious about your starting load of 34.0 grains with the resized bullets. That's about 2 grains higher than the maximum load for Lil'Gun provided in the Hornady data for this cartridge with a 300-grain bullet.
Is there some aspect of these bullets, of your rifle, or of something else, that indicates 35.0- to 36.0-grain loads might be good starting points?
Thanks for any insight into this. Let us know how your test shooting turned out.
Thanks.
