    7 gr AA#5 has worked well in My 30-30s with a 122 gr Boolit.

    6.5 Red Dot with Lyman 130 RN cast from WW. Accurate as all get out in my Marlin 336. Have not tried in 94 yet. Squirrel accurate at 40 yds and QUIET!! Less noise than 22 LR. Have not chrono'ed yet but I would go with what Larry Gibson says.

    Tracy, that was an excellent post with 311008 and 2 grains red-dot! I have that bullet and 2 Win 94. I may make a few and try in my rural subdivision backyard. I see you used the lower lube groove for crimping and so will I. I am a little concerned that the bullet will shift off center going rough the action and magazine tube, did you ever try the upper lube groove? Thanks again for the post.

    Update, I tried this in my rural backyard and it's a fun pinker. Ear protection optional.
