Use H110 as starting loads and work up from there.

MY gun is a newer Win94. I like 17 - 18gr LG in it, WSPM primers. Slight cratering of primers. This is NOT a proven safe load. YOUR gun may not be able to handle the pressures and blow up. I do not recommend it to any one.

Ihmas70,
Warning,Warning, These are Max loads, Your mileage may vary
Right out of the Basic Reloaders Manual 05:
158 gr. Hdy XTP gr. vel
H4227 16.0 1520 42,600 CUP
H110 16.7 1591 40,700 ''
Lil'Gun 18.0 1577 25,800 ''

All with a COL of 1.580"
you might want to back off 10 percent and start from there, and be shure and give us a range report.

Happy shooting
