I dunno. I've been called lazy before. Could be.

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.

Again, the data I followed was for a plated bullet. That would already make it a reduced load compared to jacketed. That alone might be my issue.

Magnum primers in a .40SW kind of makes me cringe a little since I have no idea the pressures I'm actually working with. But it is a thought.
