This load is from Hodgdon's data. It is one of the starting loads for 40gr.bullets. 14.5gr.Lil Gun,Remington 7 1/2 and I used Sierra Blitzking #1440C. And what's not to like about 482 loads from a pound of powder?
I didn't chronograph it but their data shows around 3,200.
My rifle(700 Remington) has been fully blue printed and has a Hart barrel the 1st 5 shot group went .187. That ended load development for this rifle.
I might add that this rifle as well as 9 other Remingtons all have factory triggers.
