I also have some International.
Any suggestions?
Most of the powders in the spreadsheet seem “unobtanium.”
Hodgdon International is very close to Alliant Green Dot. I would not be afraid to try 22 grains of International with 1 1/8 ounce lead. It would be an untested load if you decide to try it but I believe the risk of something bad happening in a sound gun is negligible.
