Comparable to  22 long rifle which I reload .. 2.0gr of Bullseye and 6gr FFg black powder with 46gr bullets

Grant's load was 4.6 grains of 4759 with a 45 grain bullet from a .22 WCF mould, Remington #6 1/2 primer.    (Page 127 of More Single Shot Rifles.)  He claimed  1 1/2 inch groups at 100 from a Maynard.

I posted the same question about 2 years ago. John Bly responded with load info. I looked for it but have yet to find it, life got in the way.

Buffalo Arms did offer reformed cases. I tried to reform .17 cal CF, but new at that end of the sport. Any info on case forming would a big help.

Lee,
Recently I stumbled on a couple pounds of this, it was going well with the primed 22rf brass I picked up.
"Vihtavuori’s 3N37 handgun powder was originally developed for .22 rimfire cartridges, but has since proven to be very versatile and desirable within all competitive handgun shooting disciplines."

I don't recall my loads exactly but it is a published load and it works well.

I have had some excellent results in a Rook rifle with Viht 3N37 and now trying it in several others. Thanks, ratseye
