Try some of these loads:

These are with 165gr RNFP from West Coast bullets, I have never tried Rainiers

Win. 231 5.1gr OAL 1.13 (clean)

WSF 4.8gr OAL 1.13 (Nice clean, hardly no recoil)

Power Pistol 6.4gr OAL 1.13 (a little flash, simulates Win. white box)

Unique 5.7gr OAL 1.13 ( Cheap, crapy dirty powder)

I had decent results out of my 27. I do not like the pleated bullets to much so I switched to Montana Gold's
