    I use a lot of it in my 45 acp guns; it doesn't meter well, but the velocity and accuracy are tough to beat. It smokes 185 grain jwords.

    I use both powders; in older guns I use Unique because it's been around forever. I like #5 in the 9mm, 38 spl., and 380. With a 95 gr hp, you can get some cracking good loads for the short case.

    A friend used PB for his 12 ga. slug loads and got good results. I'm a big fan of SR 4756 and was lucky to find (5) 8 oz. cans at the local gunshow last year. It's my go-to powder for midrange 41 mag...

    I use 3 powders in my ARs; H-335, WW748, and WC846. The WC846 works just fine with 55 to 60 grainers; heavier j bullets get the 748.

    I got lucky a couple months ago and got 40# of foundry type for $65 shipped. I'm guarding it closely waiting for warmer weather. It's big letters and worth a ton to me.

    I'm about to try the Lee 200 grainer in my Security Six. Right now I load the Lyman square groove 358429 over 13.5 of 2400 in 357 brass and 11.0 in 38 brass. Either load is 1 hole at 15 yards.

    I've found that the RCBS bullets seem to group the best in 44 and 41 magnums. My standard load for my Redhawk is the 44-240-swc with a Hornady gascheck sized .430" over 24.0 of W296/H110 and a CCI...

    You might want to try Clays at some point. I LOVE Green Dot, but the difference in barrel funk is enormous. I use 18.5 grains of Clays, WWAA12SL wad, and 1 ounce of shot in GunClub hulls.
