Welcome to The Firing Line!

First of all, what rifle are you shooting? If it's a M1 that powder is WAY too slow.

The max load for the 190gr bullet is 59.6gr according to Hodgdon. If it was my gun (and my face behind it) I'd start a heck of a lot closer to the starting load of 55gr in an experiment like this.
