I use N540 at present, getting good groups and 2900fps with no signs of pressure with virtus precision 125grain from a 20" barrel. I have a tub of N135 which should be even better for shortish barrel, but as yet I have not loaded up any ammunition for load development.

If your outhouse is on the same mains as house you can use a TP link box, the one in the outhouse which is plugged into mains can also provide a local Wi-Fi connection.

Mitchells of Letham used to pick up from the farm, quite a handy supplement to the pocket money. A lot of rabbits and hares on the ground back then, used to check and empty snares before and after school every day. Normally got paid extra for clean rabbits and hares (Those that had not been shot)
