good morning.

A couple of years ago i was "gifted" a jug of Ramshot Silhouette powder , i don't load for handguns ( i have enough ready rolled to last a lifetime lol) so my question would be ,,,,,, can i use this powder for long-arm loads or am i stuck with a white elephant?

i load for the little 32-20 up to the 45-70..:veryconfu.

this is where it sits on the burn rate chart,,,,,,,,,

thank you and have a great day.

Disconued WW- WAP is the same powder as Ramshot . the only application would be in the 32/20 .
I checked my info and i have none for SIL/ Wap in the 32/20 but im sure it can be used , i have some info for other powders in the same approx burning speed range to give you some idea on what to start with .
PM me for the info ! bob

I've used a bunch of it in 38 Super for USPSA major power loads.

You should be able to find a load that would work well in the 32-20.

i'd use it.
the 44 mag would most likely do well starting at 10 grs and doing up to about 15ish
i'd give it a go in my rifles with casr boolits also using the same 10 grain start then jumping up as i seen what the chrono said.
use hs-6 as a load indicator and stay under blue dot loads.

Thx rfr,
i have a foot in the door here 10grn for starters in my 30cals and go from there.

Now there's an excuse to buy a chrony if i ever saw one.

Next step ,,, to work on SWMBO for the "go-ahead," :kissarse:
