Thanks guys. I’ll make up a dummy round and see.

About the fired brass, don’t have any from this gun as I just got it and I actually don’t have any factory ammo these days. I could grab a box if needed though.

As to the slower powders, I don’t hunt or shoot for maximum accuracy so I just make up plinkers that are around 1000fps. Low pressure and shoot good (for me), our to 50 yards. 100 yards is good too but hard for me to see the target when the front sight covers it completely. When I say “good for me”, I get 2-2.5” groups at 50 yards, iron sights, out of lever guns. Nothing to write home about but fun for me to hit cans and such. Kind of slow for those 18bnh bullets but they seem to work ok for what I’m doing.

As always, great info to chew on.
