    I'm hoping to take mine to the range on Sunday, will let you know how I go and what loads work.
    I'm going to load up some Hornady 40gr and some Sierra 40gr using 2207 and 2219.
    Remember that the original projectiles are round nose, flat base. So quite short and work in the slow twist. I think 224 projectiles will make the case neck too tight in the chamber.

    I'll load up some .224s too and see how they go.
