Thanks in advance.
5.5 gr. of Winchester 231 for the 230 gr. FMJ
This makes both of them loaf along at about 730 - 750 fps (depending upon the length of your barrel). This makes them pleasant to shoot and buying Wolff increased power recoil springs a non-issue.
There are some who say that 231 is "dirty", but I'm not one of them. IMHO, the "dirtiest" powder I've even encountered is HS-6.
