Yes you read that correctly. I just received my chambering reamer from PTG today and finally cut the chamber in my Lothar Walther barrel that now resides on a former Winchester 1903. All of the loading data out there is focused around pushing a pill out of a 2" barrel. I currently have 22.5" worth of barrel to work with until I decide if I want to shorten it and wondered if anyone has a suggestion for something other than Bullseye or Unique. I test fired 4 factory rounds (through a wadded up towel) without incident, but suspect the powder had lost all of its pressure by the time the bullet exited the muzzle due to the small amount of soot left in the towel. I do not profess to have a thorough knowledge of powder characteristics, so I am hoping that someone can suggest a powder that would better utilize the longer tube and still fit in the case. I don't know if this is the best section to post this since it is a handgun cartridge out of a rifle, but as you can see I am still the "New Guy" to the forum. Thanks in advance.
