On Hogdons website I found a load for a 200gr Nosler over CFE Pistol lit up by a WLPP. I started at 6.3gr, then 6.6 and 6.9gr. The 6.3 and 6.9 grain loads were very satisfying. Shooting 15 yards with my 4" M29 the 6.3 produced a 1.7" 6 shot group and the 6.9gr a 1.2" group. The 6.3gr load was so mild it felt about like a stout 38spl load, very pleasant. I believe though that the 6.9gr load will be my load. No pressure signs at all, clean clean burn, accurate and just fun to shoot.

Not a criticism, just a suggestion... shooting benchrested groups at twenty-five yards will tell you a lot more about accuracy potential than shooting up close where almost everything is accurate. Accurate and inaccurate loads are far more easily separated at distance and it saves on load development ammo. Good luck-
