Howdy, I hope this finds everyone safe & well!!
I am in need of the collective brain power of all my fellow
" Low Life Lee Lovers " A good while back, I had a small manual
Titled "Short Barrel Loads" A bunch of calibers, A bunch of loads
for short barrel handguns.
Well, try as I might, I can't find hide nor hair of anything like it??
Anyone know anything about it ??
Thanks in advance.... Larry.

Thanks Michael, much appreciated.. Yea, it's been a good while since
I was able to string 6 - 8 "good" weeks together in a row??
I could sure get used to it pretty quick!!!!

I had an earlier edition of this but someone borrowed it and by the time I went to look for it I couldn't remember who that was. If I recall it had a section on barrel length and powders but I can't be sure as I also had a couple of magazines with articles on the same topic

Thanks Mac, I have this one also. The one I'm looking for
was sort of like those little " One book, one caliber" manuals
but, short barrel handgun data only. Thanks again Mac.
Hope all is well. Take care & be safe..

I know you've probably seen it at some point but a revisit of the Speer article "why ballistians get grey" . It has a cool table from lab data on 1 load in 20+ different guns from 1.5"-8-3/4" . Some of the results are surprising .
