    I've never done well with the fastest powders in a 9mm and that load pretty hot for cast - a lot of pressure forcing a leak. Something like a Unique or BE86 might help.

    I got a good deal on a 4x 452460. Paired with a 5pound pot, it was miserable. It didn’t stay long, either.

    If we get over the irrelevance of .008" short, we find the same operating pressure as the .44 mag. That's without bringing up all the Contender combos over the years.

    There’s not really enough wall to contain 50k psi. Add to that the zipper effect of the scope mount holes and it’s too much of a risk.

    Hunter seems awfully slow for cast but there is usually Ramshot for sale when other brands have dried up. Enforcer might be more useful - dose it out like 2400. Powder Valley had 4 pounders for $100.
