Either way always back off and work up when switching between powders that are said to be twins. With my home cast 325's I'm currently using 23.6 grains of H110 and yes there's no doubt it's gone off. Tried one or two of those in my convertible Black Hawk and quickly backed down the pistol loads. Fellow traveler here recommended 19 grains and that seems tolerable but you wouldn't want all day with them. Sight in and then hunting rounds. I can use either the BH or the '92 on Ohio white tail and so that's the plan. For plinking and other extended shooting I'm using anything from 200 to 250 grain cast or plated and near maximum charges of Trail Boss. I don't have my load notes with me but the published data for TB is good.

I do a bit of 357 and 44 Mag, a good bit of 45ACP and since wife now has a 380 a lot of 380 :D .

Make smoke,

I think you meant W296 and H110 are the same. H110 has a much slower burn rate than W231.

I have this one bookmarked so if I need to know it's only a couple of clicks away.

I got setup for 380 Auto, ran about a hundred to make sure everything was working properly. The bullet box looks to only have 6 to 8 hundred in it. So I will have to go pick some up soon.

Every time I set down to that Loadmaster I am impressed. It just runs so slick.

No reloading but I do have a "new" 358432 Ideal 38/357 WC on the way ,it is unknown if it is the 140 or the 160 version but it is coming with 2 sets of handles for just the price of shipping. If it is the 140 I may be able to load it in a couple of 9mm I load for as it is an out of the case nose design .

I gotta ask .... will those full faced meplat WC's actually feed in a "bottom feeder"?
