    So is anyone doing a nitro from black load for anything like this 500 express ?

    My only concern is that there is data out there which was posted earlier in this thread but I would want to reduce it even more.
    I don't want a nitro equivalent load because I don't want to push it that hard and it's only a 7 1/2 pound rifle !
    If it was a double and weighted another 2 or 3 pounds and if I had to hit the speed to regulate it then I would push it on.

    So there will be a huge space to fill
    That's no problem when the PEF rod is so good for that job, but I'm not sure if only filling the 1/3rd with nitro powder and 2/3rd with PEF rod is safe ?

    I will get back on to it later in the week
