So I was wrong.

I thought that H-1000 would yield low velocities and was too slow for this cartridge.

In fact with 130 grain bullets. H-1000 gave me the highest velocities tested so far.

Average velocity was 3305 fps. From a 22 inch Barrel! That is .5 grains above the starting charge listed by Hodgdon. SD was 18. Should make for an excellent hunting round.
