Does anyone know of a powder that will have most of the case filled and still give good results with reduced loads in slow twist barrels?
I'm looking for...
Larry, I've been looking for a 22lr equivalent load for my Savage 340. What powder were you using here?

I at first thought it might be a conversion, but flintlock conversions usually have a small insert where the pan was. There is no evidence of that here.
