It seems my Vanguard likes 71 gr of RL-22 under a 100 gr Barnes TSX, ignited by a Federal Gold Medal mag primer. Five shot groups well under an inch and 3 shots in each group were under a half-inch...3 different attempts. IMR-4350 and H-4831 were good - 3 shots under an inch - but the RL-22 load just seemed to work every time.
Maybe I'll fine-tune it a bit by trying slight charge variations and I'll have to run it over my chronograph to see how fast it's flying! It should be over 3500 FPS....
