I had a 15gr of 2400 load with a 240gr XTP or hard cast lead bullet I shot a few times from my 696 years ago. It made 1000fps and was a handful. I also carried it in bear country, I figure a similar load with a 280-300gr bullet at 950fps will be very controllable and a great bear stopper in the M69. Easy load to produce with 44 Mag brass.
