I'm using 4.2gr 231, because it makes my fixed sight revolvers shoot to POA.

I tried several loads, starting with a low charge. At 10 yds I was hitting high.

I adjusted the charge up, walking it right down the target as the speed increased. When I got close to max (depending on which data one studies) I was hitting POA.

That's why, at least in my case.
