My first carbine was a Gallager that I bought new for $190, that was a long time ago. I used a Shiloh mold that cast a big heavy bullet which what is generally needed for that fast a twist. As I recall it wanted at least a 35 gr charge. I did very well with it. The only issue I had was with the cost of the tubes and the relatively short life of them due to the very thin neck. I figure I had more money tied up in tubes than in the gun.
That being said, if you are doing well with yours and the load combination, don't pay any attention to naysayers regarding it. Apart from having good equipment for this sport, a major factor is that you need to have faith in your equipment. If you don't believe in it you will be second guessing yourself and gear with every shot you make.
Good luck and good shooting.
