I have narrowed it down to two powders. W748 and RL15. I am not there yet but showing good promise. Next trip out will be a ladder test with the powders listed above and 69 grain SMK bullets. First two targets are from the Savage test today. The "fly-paper target was fired from my Cooper model 38 .22 hornet. I came up with this load several years ago and it does very well in the cooper. (The hornet cartridge is a little harder to load for than many others) Just goes to show you what a good rifle the Cooper is. All groups are 5 shots. ALWAYS use a good loading manual and work up loads slowly and carefully. Don't just copy ANYBODY'S load data "Every rifle is different"..........Have a look ......Don in SC
