Looking forward to the replies you get. I am looking for the same thing. Someone that I shoot with has recommended 3.3gr of Solo 1000. I may give that a try if I can find some powder.

I actually was reducing my load trying to lower the velocity(and power factor). I guess I will try a few at 4.4 and 4.3 gr and see what I get.

Just loaded three sample loads with 147gr. Montana Gold bullets, O.A.L. 1.1" on all loads and got the following results: 1. 4.5gr avg. - 1,022fps 2. 4.6gr avg. - 1,004fps 3. 4.7gr avg. - 976fps Why is my velocity going down as the load increases. All loads were once fired, mixed brass. Thanks for your help.
