Start with 25.0 Lil Gun.  I have used 27.4 Lil Gun in my Encore.

Here's data from KDM who went out of business a couple years ago, I got 1460fps with 29.5gr in my H&R, 1433fps with 29gr which was the most accurate, didn't shoot 30gr since primers started looking a little flat, COL 2.3".

Well, this is good news. 

I was just about to go hunting for 700gr recipes :)

The mold is on it's way to the caster (yes, I know I should do it but I'm just not set-up for casting . . . yet).

I'm not even sure what I'll use it for but a 700gr pistol round will come in handy someday I'm sure ;)
