You use about 1/2 of a case of 3fg under that Remington 255'er. I use a cut down Fiocchi 455 case as a scoop.
If you want, next time, I can weigh it for you but its pathetic, as is its velocity, but in my James Dalziel Dougall Webley-Pryce it shoots to poa.
By the way, you cant even get close to 20 grains in a Webley case. If ya could that would blow your Belgian
