    @Beavis assuming you will be using 140 grain bullets so I will give you the data for that, let us know if you want the data for 120 grain bullets

    COAL = 3.00"
    Test barrel = Kreiger 24"
    Primer = CCI200
    Case = RP

    2209
    (H4350) start 38.0 = 2444 FPS
    Max 40.0 = 2531 FPS

    RL22
    Start 43.0 = 2579 FPS
    Max 45.0 = 2655 FPS

    Sierra data for RL22 & 140 grain bullets
    Start = 37.7 = 2300FPS
    Max = 45.7 = 2700 fps

    Looks like the RL22 might be the best bet which has the best velocity gain compared to the other listed powders

    Attention: owners with military actions this data is for commercial actions only DO NOT try it in your ex military actioned rifles.

    RULE 4: IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET BEYOND ALL DOUBT


    To be a Human is to be an Alien, ask the animals, We invade this world and we are killing it, we are destroying the earth and nobody gives a fuck except for the animals
