I have used both IMR-4198 and Varget for my .33WCF with good results. Exact weight I can't rmember off the top of my head. One thing I found with my '86 is that if I try to push it too hard accuracy goes to pot very quickly. I'm sure MikeD and Sixgun will be along with their favorite .33 loads. jb 8)
