I will keep that in mind. However, my dad prefers a soft-shooting load. I can try bumping the powder charge up to 90 grains and see what it does, then if it shoots better, see if he minds the extra kick or not.

Also, he's not going to be shooting farther than 60 or 70 yards, so he really doesn't need a load that shoots 1" 100 yard groups. If it shoots 2.5" or better at 70 yards, that should be good enough for him. I'm thinking of trying out the 250 Gold Dots as soon as they come in the mail, also with 70 grains T7.
