    You should be able to find some data on the powder manufacturer's website. All the powders that I use have a "Data" section that have a good cross section of bullet selections.

    I shoot a CZ and an old 19H Savage (which, oddly enough, is just as accurate). I am with PJ and BPOST1958. I use a variety of 40 gr. plastic pointed bullets. It is hard to go wrong with Li'l Gun between 12 & 13 grains, easy to meter and to experiment with, mild pressures, and small pistol primers seem to work the best, also according to Speer Reloading Manual #14, "For this manual we used CCI small pistol primers instead of rifle primers. This change allowed higher velocities at safe pressures, and greatly reduced the extreme variation of pressure that limited the number of propellants we showed in previous books. Do not use these loads with small rifle primers as excessive pressure will result..." P. 181
    Seems to work for me, too.
