Elvis, I don't shoot that caliber myself, but when it can help you:

Accurate - barrel 20"
for a 110 grs HP Sierra:
Powder - grains - velocity
1680 - 27,5 - 2547
2015 - 28,5 - 2271
2230 - 29,5 - 2225
2460 - 29,5 - 2194

for a 125 grs Speer:
1680 -25,5 - 2368
2015 -28,5 - 2309
2230 -29,5 - 2208
2460 -29,5 - 2176

and then a link to your ADI?

bullet 122-125 grs - barrel 24"
BLC(2) - 31,5 grs - 2349 fps
H335 - 31,5 - 2408
H4895 - 29,0 - 2249

H4198 - 26,5 - 2378

OOpps, I didn't see the mention of little gun powder, I was thinking it may be to fast a powder for that case.

I just made an AR-15 for that round and I load 27.2 grains of H4895 topped with 123 grain Prvi Partizan soft points (they're cheap) works great.

Elvis, I don't see an Lil'Gun loads for it either. That powder may be too fast for that cartridge.

this could also help: stevespages.com/310_1_110.html

but pay attention to diameters. Here this caliber is not under .308" but under .310".

And maybe for this caliber and your fast powder, you better ask Gelandagan some notes about his Whisper-thing. Your powder is normally for the .410 and/or the .22 Hornet. When I had to use it in the 7,62x39 Russian I might consider Geland's lead pills...

ADI are making quite a few of the Hogdon powders these days.
Example AR 2208 is marketed in the US as VARGET.
Seems we've cracked the temperature stability problem.
Either way good powders, good turn over and production and it keeps ADI in business, pity the French own it now.
