LilGun is what I use with very consistent results.

just bought some

I'm also using lil-gun,
I've tried my RFD's favoured load which is 11gns under a 35gn V-max, but for me it was quite poor grouping, 11.5gns gave tighter groups so I've just spent the afternoon loading up a few more at that, along with 11.8, 12 & 12.2 to see how they go through my HW60.

Interestingly there was only 20fps difference between 11gn & 11.5gn, 2723fps v 2743fps ave.

Has anyone else got Velocity readings to go with the loads?
be interesting to see if the favoured loads in different rifles equate to a common velocity range.

[Eligus]

I loaded a batch with H110 in .2gr. increments from 10gr. to 11gr. There was very little velocity difference overall.

Anyhow, it's back to Lilgun when the H110 is used, I found a couple of tubs last week.

One strange thing I did note was that Lilgun seemed louder than H110 !

With Lilgun 12.2 gr. and 40gr. V-Max I was getting 2,750fps on average. 16 1/2" barrel.

I'm using 13gr of lilgun, 40gr vmax. Well happy with the grouping and the foxes seem to hate em.

I have 35 and 45gr bullet heads to try

[Eligus]

I bet you won't have them, for long !!

2400 for sierra 45g cant remember think its 8.3 g ,mine shot s and b factory ammo like a dream so logic had it I made as near as I could for my home load ,dose the job

[Mini Magnum]

Any phots of your groupings with said loads. I'm finding 11.2 or 12.3 gr of h110 work best for me with 35 vmax.

[angrybear]

After a bit more testing today 11.8gn seems to be a winner,

A strange anomaly were the 12gn with group POI some 2" left of POA while 11.5, 11.8 & 12.2 were all pretty much on the centre line

Drives you mad, doesn't it !!!

I was going to put up a few group pics but I'll have to do a degree course on how to use Photobucket first !!

1 hole group at 50 m with 12.3grn lilgun with 35 grn v max superb.opened up a bit with 12 grn at 50m.

[angrybear]

What bullet 35 or 45 ?
