I guess I don't understand why you would down load a certain powder that is specifically only for " full " magnum loads knowing that it gets erratic below published levels ?
If you want nice mid range loads or slightly above , just switch to a faster burn rate powder . 8.0 grs of HP 38 / W231 is a real nice everyday carry load with 240 gr bullets . 8.5-9.0 grs of Unique makes real nice loads . The powder shortage is over , so Gentlemen , I suggest the proper powder for the performance level you are seeking . Let's keep it safe out there !
