     OTHER DESCRIPTION  This was the third load I have ever worked up.  I started by looking at the starting loads of several reliable load books.  I tried these out and they worked well, but with more recoil than I was looking for in rapid fire target shooting.  I went down to 4.1 grains, and achieved the accuracy and recoil I am happy with.  I will still tinker more with this load and if I find anything better I will report it as well.
