If you want a pretty mild load to shoot in the NEF. Try 13.0 grains of Unique with a Magnum LG rifle primer. I use a 405 grain cast bullet with this load. It chronographs about 1100 fps and is consistant and accurate. You don't need a filler or buffer with this load. I didn't believe it would work with the small powder chare but it does. Makes a good plinking or medium game load.
