The .49 load (4.7grn) worked perfectly but only achieved 960fps / 254 ft/lb
The next step up on my loader is .53 which weighs 5.2grns, the maximum stated load! I would have preferred a .51 / 5.0grn option.
Ideas, suggestions, words of caution or encouragement all welcome

Use the 4.7grn load and trickle up to 4.8, 4.9, 5.0 etc. etc., carefully checking for signs of excess pressure.
