I am looking at getting a Sub2000 or two for my wife and I; as they can really utilize the max pressure of the round I am thinking of getting into hand loading our rounds if anyone has so good points tips or experience in hand loading to close to max or higher pressure, I would like personal input. what brass, powders primers, sets books to read... Cheers
 
You cannot go above published data, it's just a blowback action, no locking whatsoever. You won't be able to use any "extra pressure", though the long barrel compared to a pistol will raise velocities on its own. This all said, nearly useless gun for hunting, .22LR range and trajectory and too marginal for ethical hunting on game larger than coyotes. You'll likely be frustrated by the inaccuracy, and lack of range, but if it's just for plinking have at it. They're no hunting rifles however.
