NEF Sidekick

I am wondering who else has one of these and what their go-to loads are for it?

I installed a 209 conversion breech plug.

I tried some 250gr LEE REALs in it with a few different charge weights of T7FFG, but accuracy wasn’t there.

I was able to hastily work up a load of 100gr of T7FFG under a Hornady 250gr saboted bullet that was minute of deer at 75yds. I successfully took a doe with this combination but am planning to really work up a really good load with this rifle. I’m hoping others have been able to make this little rifle a dependable meat getter.

100 gbw ?

Grain By Weight?

100 gbw is a lot of bh209! That's about 145 gr by volume. (Volume x .7 = grains by weight)

I used 100 gr. By volume BH 300 gr Harvester PT gold I don’t remember my 3 or 5 shot groups but I do remember shooting 14 shots fairly fast and not swabbing between shot into a 2 inch group.I have a MU breech plug
