Default Longshot

Maximumbob; I finally bought a lb. a while ago & with my limited usage it does seem like this powder needs to be used in it's upper load range. I tried similar loads in my 4006 with Zero 165gr JHP & 170gr cast SWC, as well as some 45ACP with 185gr JHP & 200gr cast SWC in my 4516. The jacketed loads seemed snappier & probably less residue, though I don't have a problem with "a little left-overs" behind. Slow powders in autos just feel a little different to me.

I also worked up a load for my 44 Spcl. using 180gr JHPs that I was very happy with but haven't tried any cast bullets with Longshot yet for a comparison. I plan on trying it in other cartridges later.
