Canoe,
NONE, let me say that again, NONE of my comments about magazines or Internet were aimed at you.

Not throwing stones at all.

I whole-heartedly agree with your assessments of H110/W296. Folks have mentioned that you cannot reduce loads with that powder but, I have never felt it is bashing. Just me though. Folks have mentioned it and I acknowledge that. Never been a complaint of mine though. It's designed for a purpose, use it in those parameters and it works superbly.

As a matter of fact, concerning H110/W296, I am going to be loading some 357Mag loads with it very shortly to use hunting for my wife's Marlin 1894.

I have the highest regards for your experience and as a matter of fact, have rethought using H110/W296 partly because of your comments. *See added comments at the bottom of post.

Notice in the image I posted from the Speer #8 that H110 is not mentioned as a short barreled powder. 2400 is AND it is mentioned in the heading that major flash was reported using it.

No bashing here about the flash aspect either. It is just something to consider for the reloader. That is my only point.

Sorry for ruffling your feathers! Not intended.

Just to set the record straight, I usually post chronograph results weekly from some load that I have developed/concocted!
(Small disclaimer: Since we have been in the middle of a snow storm it has fallen to once every two or three weeks! )

* Another BIG factor in deciding on H110/W296 had nothing to do with dissatisfaction with another powder. I had a 40 minute phone conversation with John Linebaugh about the 45 Colt (Ruger only loads) and the 44Mag in a carbine. He made mention of the fact the he greatly prefers H110/W296 in all of his handgun loads because of the slower "push" type of recoil. Now, I'm no brain surgeon as many of you forum members have noticed when studying my sentence structure, but I am smart enough to recognize an expert and when to take subtle suggestions as they are given! I have been loading some really strong stuff in the 45Colt lately and running it through my Puma rifle as well as my new Ruger Blackhawk 45 caliber convertible. So, to give credit where credit is due, I felt remiss not mentioning Mr. Linebaugh's name when speaking about a new use for H110/W296.
