Help me pick a starting load point

[bossmoss]

I have A TC endover & I'm not going to get the range time I would like before deer season so I'm hopeing you can save me some time. I have FFG lose powder win 209 primers and fuson primers and will be shotting 250r shockwave easy glide buletts. What sems to work in most guns you have tested. 90-100-110?

I shoot 250gr shockwaves with 130gr pyrodex RS (ffg equivalent) in my Omega. Easily keeps them inside 1.5". But if I were starting out from scratch, I'd shoot 2 shot groups on a cold bbl, going up in 10 grain increments starting with at least 90gr ('modern' bullet--need a little more speed to open up). You should find a charge that's a little better than the others.

The do-all charge for me seems to be 120gr Pyrodex RS. I've used it in 3 different rifles, including 2 omegas and 1 remington genesis, with the 250gr shockwave and they all shot well at that level.

3----50 grain pellets of 777...federal fusion primers and the 250 grain SHOCKWAVES......If that won't work, sell it....

bossmoss, FFg WHUT?

I think you have it nailed. Start at 90 and fire three shots for group. Up the charge 5 or 10 grains at a time, firing a 3 shot group at each charge level. When you achieve the performance and accuracy desired - stop.

sorry Triple 7 ffg lose powder is what I'll be useing.

[lemoyne]

The most common good shooting load for that combination is 110gr. Start there and go in both directions if not satisfied. Usually 110 or 115 will group around an 1 if the sabot bullet to barrel fit is right. Lee

My Endeavor likes 120g of BH209. I haven't tried any other powder so I can't intellegently comment about 777. But I would go with lemoyne's analysis. 110g is a great load for that rifle and bullet combo.
