    Personally, I wouldn't try any of those for the carbine. H110, 2400, 4227 and wc820 are my goto powders.

    I have a 1/2LB of Hercu8les 2400 in the old round can with plastic plug cap with a price tag of $8.95. I'll give that a try. Just want to shoot this thing before I sell it..

    I have 100 LC 50s once fired cases and 100 of Berry's plated pellets. An assortment of primers from CCI #41's to Fed. small mag rifle and BR.

    Thanks

    13 grs. of the old 2400 for starters with any standard small rifle primer should be fine but don't try to drive the plated bullets too fast as they sometimes start coming apart. Nice looking carbine MJ1.

    We went shooting some 500y and i took the Carbine and at 100y it 6" t the right of aim point. MAGTECH dropped two primers out of ten shots. Nice stuff. LOL I don't think there is enough drift in the rear sight to fix that. I'll wait till I try some hand loads.

    You can check the barrel and receiver indexing to be sure they are mated properly. If it's off just a little bit it will shoot way to the right. You can also drift the rear sight a little bit more to help bring it in. It only has to move a little bit sometimes to center it on the target.
