Hey WestTexHunter,
I rolled several different loads for the new Ruger and went to the range to try them out. Of all the different load she likes the 35 gr Hornady V-Max, with 13.3 grs of LiL'Gun, setted at 1.712" plus CCI (400) small rifle primer the best. Bust quarter at 100 yards. I also need to do some work on the lawer trigger the came with it, bet it is at least 5 pounds. All in all I thinks she one pretty little shooter.
