I started at 39 grains and went up to 41 grains going up 1/2 grain each time, loading 4 of each charge. I am seating to 2.122" and taper crimping to what calipers show to be 0.474". There was no soot on any cases and the accuracy was very pleasing, especially the 41 grain load. The gun is a Remington R-15 VTR and I have a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 scope on it. It shot a three hole four shot group at 100 yards with the three holes touching. Gun season starts here on Saturday and I look forward to deflating a whitetail with it.
Just for what its worth, I bought a Limbsaver recoil pad to replace the plastic meat tenderizer the gun came with. Man, what a difference!
Nice shooting.
Get yourself a Ross brake, makes a huge difference.
good luck Saturday, lot of corn still up around here, could be a very quiet morning.
