I use 2 loads with the Hornady 100 grain BTSP in my 788:
WW brass, CCI 200, 44.0 of IMR 7828
FC brass, CCI 200, 39.0 of WW 760/ H414
Neither is max by the book, these seem to shoot the best in my carbine length barrel. I wish it had a 22 or 24 inch tube to get more poop from the loads, but it will shamrock a clipful if I do my part.
