Many .54s like 85gr of FFF and a tight patched .535 ball.

Might want to start at 75 and work your way up.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

I have only had mine for about 3 weeks but right now I an using 70 grains of 2F, a .530 ball, and a .017 patch. I am getting around 4" groups at 100 but I think with some load work it should do better.

My experience with fast twist barrels is back the powder down for PBR's. I think you should try conicals. Good luck,that the fun part seeing what works. :wink: Rocky
