@Steelisreal H2o case capacity is 59 grains to the mouth

Barrel is exactly 26"

At this stage I will run with 165s because there are a range of suitable ones available locally

And 2219 is looking good at this stage for a powder with specific data from manufacturer ( despite having a heap of other powders that might be perfect but lack creditable data )

cheers
