PISTOL DATA-----------------
----------
.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
---------------------------------------
.38 Special
Mixed cases
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

Worked up to 15.0gr with 180gr 200gr and 210gr bullets. No signs of excessive pressure by expansion ring measurements. Accuracy is pretty good.-redneckdan
-----------
.41 Magnum
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

.45 colt
"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"
"11 grs ave 715 fps 12 grs ave 780 fps 12.5 grs ave 815 fps 13 grs ave 845
Blue Dot control 12.5 grs ave 891 fps. Clearly slower than Blue Dot." - Aaron
(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

.22 Hornet
" 5, 5.5 6, 6.5, 7grains with the 254-415 which weighs in at 55 grains in WW without GC and lube. 5.5 was the best group, 7 sprayed them. no leading, no pressure on the primer"-DIRT Farmer
Ruger Model 77

BRP 226-47 Boolit, as cast 45 gr WW,LLA lube.
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.

"6x45AR. Kicker is 5gr of 10B101, plus enough 860 to fill the case enough that I get compression when I seat the bullet. I got 2550fps with reasonable accuracy and great ballistic uniformity. Start at 2gr with the kicker, it has more effect on velocity than varying the main charge"

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.

"starting load of 20gr. of 10b101 under a 190gr 311644 paper patched to 311"
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

"I tried 16 grns to 24 in the 45-70 and the Lyman 457-124 385 grn in my Simiese mauser. 2 loads of each, no pressure no leading. A heavy crimp seems to improve things.
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
