What exactly are you defining as a Skeeter?? I know who Sketeer is (was).But not whatever load goes with his name?
Just trying to get a 240/250 gr bullet over 900 FPS out of a shorter barrel??


The last time I went to order HP 38/W 231 they where out of it so I thought I would try the Win Auto Comp and bought 8lbs of it. It is similar to W 231 but a little slower burning, finer and you use a bit more of it. It meters great. I am real pleased with it and have used it all my handgun loads. I will have to try it now in the 44 Spl. I do not care about the "Comp" part as I think it is just hype. At first I thought is stood for competition but I guess it was for compensated guns.

Based on the Hodgdon load data, they use 1 gr more and obtain 50 FPS more velocity with pretty much the same pressure

Of course ArchAngleCD will wonder why we are messing with these powders and just use HS 6
Which gives better velocity and less pressure.
