I'm using what powders I have on hand.
Lots of people have suggested lil'gun.
Never tried it.
It is a little faster than W296.

Looks like you're really dialing this thing in. It makes sense that Lil'Gun would work. A while back, Lil'Gun was hard to come by and I was experimenting with loads for my newly acquired Savage 24F in .22 K-hornet and it worked out being one of the best powders (if not THE BEST) as far as accuracy and velocity in that caliber. The K-hornet and the .22 Johnson are pretty similar ballistically, so that might be one to give some thought to. The nice thing about powders in this burn rate vicinity is that they can be used in my .410. No sense in buying a powder you can't get rid of in another gun if things don't work out.
The W296 did good.
1" to 2" at 50yds.
10.0, 11.0, 12.0.
12.0 was the most consistent.
Primers look good. Cases still dirty.
Going to try an anneal some of the cases to see if it helps.
Also need a better rear sight. One on it is lose.
Gun Show this weekend, so no shooting.
Tried again yesterday.
11.5, 12.0, 12.5.
11.5 and 12.0 about the same, but 11.5 little more consistent.
Getting closer.
Need to fix the rear sight. It's very lose.
Hope to try it again this weekend.
Shot at 50yds. Seven shots. Upper right is two hits.
