[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3182413, member: 6064"] I load for the SOCOM. The thing to remember is it is a fairly low pressure round and many powders that are listed for it don't burn completely . I have had several powders of the IMR type that actually left enough unburnt powder grains in the chamber to cause out of battery malfunctions.... Ie the round couldn't chamber fully. AA 5774 was the worst but a couple other extruded powders did this as well. Stay with very fine grain powders or flake type powders. I settled on lil gun for almost all bullet weights. As for bullet weight I've never had any of them stay inside a pig so I couldn't really tell you if you need real heavy bullets or not. I settled on the 350 grain Barns X and the 325 grain Hornady flex tips. I've never had a pig run off after a good shoulder hit, but most the ones I've shot are less than 300 pounds. [/QUOTE]
