Just picked up a pound of Benchmark and some 55 gr. Ballistic Tips for my HR Survivor Handi Rifle I just ordered. Anybody have a favorite load or any tips to share with this combo? Gonna get a load worked up for coyote hunting/prarie dog shooting(later this year). Thanks,

Jon

    Start with 23 grs of benchmark and carefully work up from there.

    Hodgdon has online data, which I recommend you check. Their current Annual Manual shows Benchmark starting at 24.0 (3100 fps) up to 25.6 (3260 fps) but with a different 55-gr bullet. For the Nosler, be very cautious in working up, as pressures are likely to vary compared to another bullet.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.
