I’m looking to work up a good shooting light load for my wife and kids. I’m setting this gun up just for them. Jeff built a 24” #17 contour Brux. His ignition system and standard shank.

I have 275gn ASG NSRs and IMR 4198. Im looking to get an easy shooting 2600-2800. It’s my wife’s gun for now until the kids get older so it doesn’t have to be super light as she can shoot my full load out of my heavier gun. I’ve got some loads of 70-73gn ready to shoot next time I go to the range just wondering if there are any other suggestions. Thanks

I would think it will be pressure starved If you go much below 55.

This is in a Cva conversion but shouldn’t be to far off. It wasn’t really light shooting in my Cva but a heavier gun should help.

I'm shooting an Encore frame so that is about the max for me.

It shoots 59 grs IMR4198 average 25789FPS less than 1" MOA. My 2 cents
