    Hodgdon Titegroup.

    I use 3.0g with a Jacketed 90g bullet, Win SP primers in Win or Federal brass.
    The Hodgdon 2008 manual shows a start load of 2.7g with a max of 3.2g.

    I just worked up into 3.3 gr. of Bullseye behind an 88 gr. Rem JHP in Rem brass. Used Win Small rifle primers. Runs just about 960 fps. I tried Speer's load of 7.3-7.7 gr. of AA#7 but it kicked a lot. I didn't want to have the slide come back and hit my daughter(it's hers).

    One book lists 3.3 gr. of Bullseye as max. The manual I used lists 3.7 as max. You can start @ 2.8 or 3.0 and work up.

    I have used some 700x and 90 grain HP, 2.7 grains. Its rather slow, but shoots good enough for me.
