I actually did read the sticky before I posted. It was a great overview but I was wondering more about specific products and what not.

I ended up just kinda winging it. I started out firing 15 gr. and than moved up to 20, and giving it a good work over with solvent and soapy water to clean it.
I have thought about buying some of those pyrex pellets, cause measuring out powder while trying to shoot when it 6 degrees out sucks.

Pretty sweet so far though.
