    If you only need to go to 100 yards I would suggest AS-30N,it is the bulkiest powder of theADI powders.10 grains should do the job,between 7 to 12 grains if you want to experiment,AP-70N add 2 grains.

    Bruce,
    I reckon you are doing well,probably best to save your suitable powder for better barrels until the powder supply improves.

    You are going to find this will be a strong load compared to a 22 rimfire,I would try a few first before going on the trap line,possibly 4.5 grains would be plenty for 10 yards.
