Welcome aboard Buddy1975.
I don't think we have a local contacts/meet up type of thread. Would be nice if we did. However, go to the thread 'Our town" drop down and open the 'welcome aboard to all new members' thread and introduce yourself.

I have used it in the .40 S&W.

+1 on the 40 S&W. I'm looking for more myself.

[brstevns]

Anyone using it in the 300 Blackout?

[almar]

460 rowland, it is smoking in that round. I get really good velocity and accuracy in my 6 inch longslide 1911.

[eastbank]

i use it for hot shotgun shell loading, i may try it in a few handguns.

Longshot is my go-to powder for .45 Super with 255 grain bullets....Very similar to PowerPistol...

[AlaskaMike]

I've just started using it for 10mm and like it so far. I don't have a lot of experience with it though yet.

[brstevns]

It is one of the 2 powders my LGS has at the moment, that is why I was wondering if anyone has tried it in the 300BLK

[Liberty1776]

The only shotgun primers I could get were some CCI Magnum primers at my local gun club.

The only 12-ga recipe with the AA shells and WAA12 1-1/8 wads I have called for Longshot. So I loaded up a box. May be too high velocity for competition, however.



Also used Longshot in attempt to push a 147 gr JHP in 9mm to 1000 fps trying to replicate Federal HST Tactical specs. Only got to under 900 fps, however.



Also use Longshot for a 440 grain bullet in my S&W 500 Magnum. Big boom.

It is my favorite for the 44 special but I use it in all my revolvers from there up to 500L.

[sparkyv]

It's a fairly utilitarian powder for me. I use it in 9mm, 40S&W, 10mm, and even 460S&W, and I plan to try it in 44RM.

[Ltdshooter]

460 rowland, it is smoking in that round. I get really good velocity and accuracy in my 6 inch longslide 1911.

+1on the 460 Rowland. I also have a 6" and it absolutely is the powder for this combination!

[Beaverhunter2]

9mm cast, 40 S&W everything and heavy 12 gauge

[grayscale]

It's powder #1 for my Bismuth duck and goose loads

[Duke3026]

Works well in 480 Ruger!

[brstevns]

No use for it in the 300 blackout?

[Ithaca Gunner]

It does well in .38 Super loads with boolits, but when loading Hornady XTP's for serious stuff I use V-V N-105.

[Hogtamer]

5.7 gr with 124gr bullet in 9mm; great HV shotgun powder for 12 or 20 ga. It does not like to be loaded down much in shotguns at least, likes a little pressure
