Hello Mike
Try 55 to 60 gr of FFG ( swiss N°2) and the lyman 457121PH greased and sized ( for my rifle .451) , on the powder put a greased wad (I use the little circle that the barman give under the glass of beer ).
this wonderful rifle need to be cleaned between every shot.
The second step is the hexagonal bullet paper pached but it needs also better sights like MVA or similar, because PP bullet means that you are shooting over 300Yards.
