Extraction is sticky above 31 grains. Also wondering about just how fast I can push a plain base bullet and if a wad would help. Since I found the starting load in my Cartridge Conversions book, I have looked for more loads with a slower powder but to no avail. Any suggestions or help would be seriouslt appreciated.
