I load my SC with 2.0 grains weight of Bullseye from a scoop I made out of an empty .22LR hull. It clocks a 30 grain pill about 1200 fps. This is what I carry. Of course, it shoots clean, too. 1 grain is around 800 fps which is about what I get from a good .22LR 36 grain HP round in my .22 model.

if you end up doing it, then it's at your own risk/QUOTE]
This is why I ask these questions. The Pistol is so small I don't see how cut up hands can be avoided if there is a failure.
I have done some more research on the air gap in the cylinder and it does not seam to be a concern with modern smokeless powders. I think I will start with 4F and take it from there. If I feel I want more power.... don't know what practical reason I could possibly have for it (but that has never stopped me before, I own a 370HP 365 TQ VW Golf), I will try Bullseye.
