RL-10X and Barnes Varmint Grenades?
Where should I begin working up a load for this bullet? I have gone as high as 26.3 grains with a 32 grain bullet with no issue but the barnes bullet has shown pressure issues with other powders. Any ideas?

FB Guy: You'd probably be safe loading their 26gr VG with data for a 32 grain bullet to get started, then work up from there. Of course you could do the proper thing and just contact Barnes for spot-on data from their ballistics department to be safe and sure.

Sound advice rick! Just wish to try them with this powder as it has been so good with any other bullet I have tried it with.
