Yikes, even if it's true, 150 fps extreme spread. And all that fast powder plus a featherlight bullet only beats the 100 grain factory load by 150 fps. I don't know what WAP powder is, but 60 grain bullet at 1861 fps through a 3" barrel sounds just like it will WAP some small game. That must be 2000+ from a full size handgun.

Well I learned something new. Apparently Winchester action pistol powder was only around 3-4 years in the mid 90's. There is a rumor that Ramshot Silhouette is the same, or very close to the same powder. I believe I even have a pound of Silhouette.
I can only imagine the rifle. The Federal 100 grain American Eagle runs about 1650 fps in my 5" GP100, and 2150 fps in my 16.5" Henry. You could potentially have a 2500 fps load with that 60 grain. That's right up there with 22 K Hornet.
I was thinking exactly the same. Gives the Hornet a run for its money with a ton more diameter!!!
Think I’m gonna load two pcs at 7g and work up two PCs at a time to see how far I can go. (W/60g GD)

I’m going to be following this thread with great interest... my research has all been so heavily skewed toward heavy bullets that this will be a whole new train of thought for me. Keep those reports (with actual loading and range data) coming!

I agree, I have never really been to interested in light bullets in this cartridge, but maybe I have missed out on some good stuff. Thanks for posting this.
