anyone got any starting point load recipes for the above (and chrono data if available)?
I'm trying to set up a deer load for my 20" Howa Mini....
I'm expecting a few boxes to arrive and need to think about doing a small charge ladder (don't want to waste too many bullets or powder as both are sparse in NZ).. my only other powder options is adi 2219(aka h322) and adi 2206h (aka h4895)... the later didn't work well with the Speer gold dots
I've previously settled on a load for Gold Dots 120gr; 28.2gr of xbr, COBL 1.725";MV 2480ft/s, but didn't get much expansion with a vitals shot (penciled thru @100yd... died but required a second shot on the deer, and pencilled through goats at 250meters....
can I start with a small ladder around the load I've already sorted for the Gold Dots? or do I start from scratch?
