Ok so today on a whim i loaded up some 219 zipper with trail boss powder and took it out to the range in the wind and the rain and oh man what a blast. feels like your shooting a 22lr but you can still hit the 200 yard gong consistently. I was getting some pretty good groups too. The wind was blowing and the rain was spitting and my front sight is the wrong height so i have to hold like a foot high at 50 yrds but i was still getting like 2 inch groups. Definately a cheap way to have way more fun than should be legal. I was using 50 grain J bullets but cant wait to try it with some boolits.

I use TrailBoss in 30 calibers.I imagine you have to herd them down the neck single file in 22 caliber or they would bridge.I might have to give it a whirl in my 22 Wasp and @22 Varminter now.Any idea of velocity?
What was the load?

i have no ideal on velocity i started at six grains and went up to 10 grains in 1 grain increments. 8.0 grains seemed to be the sweet spot but i still need to do more tests.
