Cubflyer my have something with his theory. The H110 load is not a full case capacity load and the 2015 that I have had my best results so far was a compressed load. I think I have a can of 4227 somewhere at the back of the shelf and I will give that a try next. I can say for certain that things have improved with the shorter barrel.[/QUOTE]



I'd suggest 2400 would be a good one to try here. I made up some loads for my short 9" SIG and it had a deviation of about 9fps in 10 shots fired. The barrel was cold when I started. We tried the same load in the longer 16" barreled Rem 700 and it was about 20fps faster and once again quite consistant though we fired only 3 rds. 2400 will fill a good deal more of the case when compared with H110 so that helps a lot with the issue of powder moving around. I can't recall the exact load we used but I think it was about 9.5gr and velocity was in the 1025fps range for the SIG and 1040fps +- in the Remington.
Basically that indicates to me that as the others stated, faster powders are better for this application and bulk is helpful with consistancy.

Hope that helps
Frank
