    .30 Carbine Blackhawk

    9.0 gr under a 311359 in a 30 carbine blackhawk. No signs of excess pressure. Cleanest burn I have found so far with this powder.-redneckdan

    158 grn SWC Hornady Swaged boolit
    WSP's to light 6.5 grns of 10B100
    Liked it so much I loaded 300 of these today. Raining hard here, so I just got to shoot some pinecones in the yard....but at 7 yards both my Model 10 and 49 made pinecones jump. No pressure signs, cases fell out of the M 10, needed a bit of a push from the 49.
    Fired 15 out of the 49 and 12 out of my M 10.Recoil felt a bit lighter than my factory Rem "FBI" loads I carry.-sherrifoconee

    10.5 g 10B101 in 38 special once-fired Federal cases in the 1894 CB with good results, no pressure signs. This is using 358429 at .359. Interestingly, I tried some SR magnum primers and the results were not nearly as good as surplus SR carbine primers. This powder does not seem to like magnum primers in my testing. -frugal

    .357 Magnum

    9.3 10B101 and the 358429 shot pretty well offhand at 50 today.Best I have ever seen out of that 6" mod 66 S&W.-TCLouis

    "Ruger Blackhawk flat top .357. using 6.4 grains approximately as measured by a Lee scoop, they vary +/_ about 3ths grain. .38 Special cases. The loads were dipped with a .7cc Lee scoop. The boolits were the Lee 158 gr. SWC TL, lubed with Rooster Jacket tumble lube liquid. They were capped with WSP primers and boolits seated and crimped in the crimp groove giving an OAL of 1.445 inches."-RayinNH

    "10B101 in a Marlin 357 Mag with 158 grain lead bullet.......
    6 grains ...weak barely on paper, much unburned powder in bore .9.3 grains... still shot low, 50% reduction in powder residue in bore. 12 grains... shoots to the same height of impact as AA#9 at 11.5 grains, but poor group, 90% of powder residue is gone. I shot up to 13 grains, which is about all will fit in the case and seat a bullet. No signs of excessive pressure in my rifle."- jmh54738

    "3 screw RBH .357 4 5/8" barrel. 150 TLSWC that's really 158 gr. Over 9.5 gr. 10B101 5 shots averaged about 1050 fps. Used a dipper, charges varied by up to .5 gr. due to the weird nature of this powder. Extreme spread was about 100 fps!
    old Lee design 140 SWC, also a plain base, same charge, with very similar results. It was plenty clean enough burning wise, and the cases weren't sooted at all. I've poured it thru a funnel with a easy 3/8" hole and it bridged, stopped flowing."-dualsport

    "Ruger 77/357-NOE 360-180 WFN. 8.5 gr. Wolf primers. 38 wad cutters over 3.5 grains of 231 it will cut cat tail stalks at 50 yards every shot. . 100 yard groups with the 360180 boolit and 10B101 powder are giving me consistent 1"-1.25" groups."-altheating

    WW cases WLP 215 grn SWC boolit
    Redhawk...11.5 sooted the outer 1/4 of the cases, accuracy was so so against my steel target
    13grns all bullets struck steel at same place, not much unburned powder, no soot on cases

    Model 58... 11.5 no soot, some unburned powder, POI was right on with fixed sights, feels just a
    bit milder than "police loads"....I like this load in my 58
    13 grns...felt like police load, similar accuracy....not as much unburned powder.
    All ejected empties fine, just fell out of the revolvers, primers look good...
    My Uniflo measure seems to like this stuff.(using the rifle rotor)..(weights) were very consistent-sheriffoconee

    "Seems to be dead ringer for 2400 in 45 Colt"-
    " I started at 8.0 grs of 10B101 in half grain increments stopping at 9.5 grs. Basically, 8.0 grs would not break 500 fps and 9.5 grs made it to 643 fps." " it is not at all in the Herco speed range"

    (PRESSURE SPIKE) with my 500 JRH as well. 300 gr Speer went from 1200 to 2100 fps going from 24 to 25 grs, some compression. Verfied with a second round. Fired several 45 Colt factory rounds and 22 LR, all read normal velocities."-Aaron


    "a couple loads today with this powder.The loads were shot through a Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt with a 5.5" barrel. I didn't use the chronograph. I also took a box of Red Dot loads as a sort of control. The boolit was a Lyman 454190 PB RNFP sized at .452.
    Load #1 was 11 grains of 10B101, it shot well and felt recoil was on par with the 6.2 Grains of Red Dot loads. Both loads had sooting on the upper third of the casing.
    Load #2 was 13 grains of 10B101, it too shot well and was much more authoritative. Sooting was almost nonexistent. I didn't spend a lot of time aiming, having shot the fifty rounds of 10B101 in fifteen minutes, but they produced a group of about 3.5" at fifty feet. I didn't have the chrony, but my velocities seemed to be higher than AAron's at the same charge weights"-RayinNH

    "I loaded 12.0 grs behind a 200gr hardcast plain base RF boolit in a Ruger Bisley 45 Colt. I had loaded some with a light roll crimp and some with a very heavy roll crimp. I ran a few over the Chrony and results were as follows.
    Light crimp - 802 fps average Heavy crimp - 897 fps average
    The heavy crimp loads burned cleaner and showed less shot to shot deviation as well as the big increase in velocity. These velocities were from a 7 1/2" barrel. The primers (Winchester Large Pistol) showed no pressure signs at all and extraction of the fired cases was very easy."-daved63

    4.5 gr = 1577 FPS 5.0 gr = 1672 FPS 5.5 gr = 1822 FPS 6.0 gr = 1993 FPS
    5.5 gr. most accurate. None showed pressure signs.
    The best way to dispense this stuff is with a electronic dispenser/scale (RCBS Chargermaster 1500)
    Dumping from my RCBS Uniflow measure or the Lyman 55, every charge was off by more than 1/2 to 3/4 grain. I attempted to use the Lyman powder pal pan/funnel. Forget it! More of the powder sticks to the sides of the pan/funnel than drops in the case. Static cling! The clear MTM funnels were almost as bad. I tried drier sheets to eliminate the static cling but with negative results. I ended up using the pan from my RCBS 5-0-5 scale and a RCBS old style soft plastic funnel.

    30-40 Krag

    "Seems to be around the burn rate of Blue Dot. Using the 169gr Eagan MX3-30AR, I worked up to 21gr of 10B101, and that gave me the same speed I've been averaging with 20gr of Blue Dot. I'd guess pressure was over 35,000psi as the case necks sealed well. Looking at empty cases from the 2 loads side by side, I'd say the Blue Dot load produced slightly more pressure. Accuracy was also on par with Blue Dot, which is to say pretty good. Load was 21gr 10B101, 169gr boolit, Rem 9 1/2M primer. Average for the load was 2010fps and extreme spread was less than 30fps. 16gr of 10B101 with a 194gr bullet produced 1577fps. 18gr with a 194gr bullet produced 1812fps."-madsenshooter

    closer look at some previously unfired cases I'd used with the 10B101. 20 and 21grs gave that sorta annealed look to the neck, so I'd say it's double base.-madsenshooter.

    Based on 2400 data I tried 24gr 10B101, lot #91-009, under some Hornady 150gr FMJBT in my Krag. The old Hercules handbook says 2190fps @34000psi. The condition of the primers says back off a bit, especially in the Krag.-madsenshooter

    .30 Carbine

    "10 grains with 311410 bullet Used the top two slides on a Lyman #55 powder measure open to #6 (front graduations) When charging a block of cases, the powder level would be anywhere from 1/8" to 5/16" below the case mouth. I weighed several of both the high level and low level charges. Regardless of the height in the case, they all weighed within a few tenths of 10 grain, and they all functioned the m1 carbine, without leading and a good group, and no powder residue. No velocity readings as the snow is up to my posterior. So far, for 357, 44 mag, and 30 carbine, I could just dip a case full, shake out 1/4" and seat the bullet. 100% load density (without compression). -jmh54738

    Marlin 62 30 Carbine, 7.0gr. is a good load for 115gr. bullets. Even without gas checks it works well. 10.0gr. was way too hot, -Nobade

    Tried it in a 45/70. 1886 Browning Winchester 24 inch barrel. 24 grains pushed a 405 to 1560fps and a 500 grain to 1415 fps. Uses up quite a bit of case space doing it.-Aaron"

    Mid 40 degree temps. 405 gr GC flat point in 45/70, 24 grs gives 1500 out of my 24 inch barrelled 1886. 500 gr plain based round noses give 1400 with the same charge. I sighted in the 500 gr loads in my Shiloh as well.

    Here is where it gets interesting. I have some 300 gr Speer Gold Dots left from my 50 Beowulf, so I thought I would use them up in my 500 JRH. Started with 26 grs figuring it would give me 1200 fps and lower to mid 30,000 psi range. It actually chronod at 1197-- right on the money. This is basically 100% loading density, depending on how much the flakes settle out. I moved on to 27 gr loads. The first round tripped the chrono at 2103 fps!! I think what the he!!... The empty case fell from the chamber and the primer was not excessively flattened...but the doesn't always mean anything with a tight polished chamber and headspace, which Jack's are. In any event, I thought maybe it was an error with the chrono, so I sent another one over, it went 2097 fps!!-Aaron

    Lets put the lot number on these tests. From what I have read there were two different lots of this powder. Better safe than sorry!

    Just asking, not suggesting; anybody tried 10B101 as a kicker for a real slow burner like WC860 or IMR5010? Sure be some cheap shooting, if it worked ok.

    Not yet because of the problem measuring the stuff, but I'm about out of Blue Dot, which is what I normally use as kicker in my 6x45 with 860, so 10B101 will probably get a trial soon. Gotta get this 860 used up somehow! See here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=121224

    another .30-30 load test: (50 rds)

    I used 14.0 grains of 10B101 (Lot#91A-009) pushing a TLC311-165-RF with hornady gas check sized to .309" lubed with lee alox, cast with WW alloy. I fired this out of a good condition win 1894 levergun. I used mixed head stamped brass and cci large rifle primers. I brought along some rounds loaded up with 4895 as a comparison for accuracy, noise and recoil.

    The load did recoil, but was pleasant to shoot (as expected). I'd say it kicked about 30-40% less than the 4895 loads. The report was only slightly quieter than the 4895 loads with a pronounced crack. I did not have a chrono, but I expect these to be somewhere in the 1600-1700 fps range. I was shooting with iron v-notch sights, and the 4895 loads shot to POA. However, these loads were shooting under the paper at 100 yards. I adjusted my sights to the highest elevation, and the rounds still shot low. I used some "kentucky windage" and managed to pull off about 3 MOA with this load, aiming well above the paper. I will have to get a steeper elevation ramp for this gun, and re-test. Other than that, no signs of pressure, nor leading, and it burned very clean. I hope I can get this load to POA, because it sure is a lot of fun, took a while to make the barrel warm also.

    .357 Marlin with 10B101: Same lot as in above post using Ruger Blackhawk .357; Lee 358-158 RF, tumble lubed in LLA mix, loaded as cast, 10.2 gr. 10B101 and Tula SP primer gave 4" groups at 75 yds. My Marlin 1894c is wearing a 2.5X shotgun scope. The idea was a simple load with minimum work and expense. I would take a WAG that the velocity was around 1500 fps. Some unburned powder left in barrel, slightly dirty load but useable and cheap.

    Can we post our Lot # with the load data as the burn rate of the different lots have been reported to be significantly different according to earlier posts.

    Once again, many thanks to those who have reported on their 10B101 loads. Loaded .38 Special today with confidence because of it. Working on 7mm BR data.

    Anybody have any ideas about the 35 Whelon and the 290 grain GC casting other than start at say 10 grns and go up slowly.

    In my Marlin 62 30 Carbine, 7.0gr. is a good load for 115gr. bullets. Even without gas checks it works well. 10.0gr. was way too hot, sticks cases in the chamber and really flattens primers. 10.0gr. is a case full.

    30/40 B&M31169 10B101@100yds

    Got out for a bit this morning with my parkerized 92/96 Krag. I had done some shooting with this bullet up around 1550fps, and it looked like she wanted to go a little slower. So I dropped the charge of 10B101 (Lot# 91A-009) back from a 1.3cc dipper to a 1.0cc. Weight of that 1cc charge is 11.2gr. I guesstimate that dropped the speed down to around 1400fps or so. Group measures .9"x1.4". Someday I'll finish hand cutting a dovetail in one of my Krag barrels so I can mount a scope with a bit more than 6x using an old Miller Kodiak mount. I think they'd come close to shooting into one hole if I could see a bit better.

    10B101 & J-words

    Not a super group, but...it was one of my lesser Krags, one that I'd put a new forearm on and back bored a little bit. Add to that the fact that I forgot my raindrop deflection chart, used iron sights, my eyes are 54 years old, and the rifle is 111, then it ain't too shabby. 22.2gr, approx, as I simply used the 1.9cc Lee dipper, should yield around 2000fps. It was pretty close to being on the range markings on the 1901 sight. Oh the bullet, Nosler 168gr HPBTM seconds. Bob S, known super shooter, told me I had an astigmatism, front sights appear to be leaning to left when I look through a peep sight. This powder does a lot of burning in the case neck, no doubt about it, they almost look freshly annealed.

    The pressure is getting up there TC, but not a max load yet, my guesstimate around 35,000psi, That group, shabby as it looks, would have held the 10 ring on a 200 reduced for 100 target with proper sight adjustment.

    "raindrop deflection chart"

    This is not the first time you have mentioned this piece of frippery, and I ai'nt buyin' it.

    By my highly sciencetifical and logical brain I am deduceifying that you have a chart that you lay out in the rain and by how many rain drops falls on the chart in the time you clap your hands and spin around twice, you adjust your sight for how much the rain will lower your point of impact.

    Just where do you get off denying the rest of us this dazzling new cutting edge technowlodgy?

    Thanks Pal.
