What rifle are you working these loads up for? I'm working on some loads for my AR with an 18" Satern barrel. I've got loads ready to shoot starting with 37 grains of H110 up to 40 grains in .5 grain increments. I functioned tested five rounds at 37 grains and there were no pressure issues, just a bit of sooting. HOWEVER, when I shot a couple of factory Hornady Black rounds right after they were also a bit sooty so I ordered a stiffer buffer spring from Sprinco. I just have to install it and find a place to sight the rifle in since the range I used to go to shut down.
