I was finally able to get out and do some load testing to see if I could find my carbines favorite. The results were disappointing to say the least. These are my five shot results at 50 yrds. All using Starline brass and a tree limb as a rest. CCI 500’s were used in everything except the H110 loads where I used 550’s. Rifle was a Rossi R92 with 20” barrel and buckhorn sights.

10gr Alliant 2400, 158gr cast Rim Rock FP-TC, 1.60” COL. 6”V X 3.5”H.
12gr Alliant 2400, 158gr Hornady XTP, 1.59” COL. 3.25”V X 2.5”H
18gr H110, 125gr Hornady XTP, 1.59” COL. 5”V X 2”H
20gr H110, 125gr Hornady XTP, 1.59” COL. 3.5”V X 3”H
14gr H110, 158gr Speer TMJ FN, 1.59” COL. 8.5”V X 1.75”H.
15gr H110, 158gr Speer TMJ FN, 1.59” COL. 2.25”V X 3.25”H
Any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated. For the cast loads I’m going to try a faster powder at more like 38spl velocity.
