Default RE: Loose Powder Loads for Optima

I have a lot of 777 powder and want to do some shooting this weekend. Anyone know where to start as far as amount of loose powder. Last year I used two 777 pellets and a 250 gr bullet and had good accuracy. Just want to get a starting point.

Thanks
If it were me.. I would start with 80 grains of the loose powder and shoot for groups. Your rifle will probably tune in quickly. Once you have the best group kick it five more grains and see if the group falls apart.
