All my testing was done with moly coated bullets because I am lazy about cleaning. Mic says I load toward higher pressures than I should. Please start off [about ½-grain] lower!
Some of this testing was done with ½-degree leade before we gave up on it. Now we use standard benchrest leade of 1½-degrees. [Important Note: For loads using non-moly-plated bullets, reduce starting loads by an additional ½-grain.]

DATA: Likely maximum load charges, 30- and 32-grain bullets:
34.5-grains H335 (34.5 grain ruins 30-grain Berger bullets)
35-grains A2520
32-grains N133 (32-grain Sierras blew up – 3 of 5 reached target)
H380, too slow to allow full velocity
32-grains H322
34-grains Benchmark
34-grains N540 (heavier charges tend to disintegrate bullets!)
[34-grains Ramshot TAC works very well
37-grains Ramshot 1720 – excellent load but requires settling]
