I have a Handi in this wonderful caliber, 22 inch barrel, pallet wood.
Using Hodgen's Univeral Clays under a 365 grain cast bullet (benched) I got an inch and an eighth three shot group at 100 yards. These loads were using a Remington large pistol primer. Just about 1320 fps. Amazing to watch the chronograph. 1320,1321,1320,1320,1324 and so on. Sheessshh.
I also used the same load with a Lyman 462650 that I cut the gas check off of the mould. The bullet weighs 510 grains, and ran 1110,1110,1110,1109,1110 fps. All five shots into about an inch at 50 yards.
I can see that you guys aren't kidding when you say that this caliber in the Handi tends to shoot well! These rifles sure grow on you.
