460 rowland, it is smoking in that round. I get really good velocity and accuracy in my 6 inch longslide 1911.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
9mm cast, 40 S&W everything and heavy 12 gauge
It's powder #1 for my Bismuth duck and goose loads
It does well in .38 Super loads with boolits, but when loading Hornady XTP's for serious stuff I use V-V N-105.
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
