After looking at load data for awhile I'm gonna try 4gr of MP-254 under a 180gr plated HP tomorrow. See if they will work in my Dagger.

Got to thinking about how much gas this powder generates and loaded 1 round at 3.5gr. Went out and popped it off and it chroned at 700fps. Primer looked good, no signs of pressure, case very clean. 1.135" OAL. They are as long as a 9mm case lol.
So:
LOS 180gr .357" plated HP
3.5gr MP-254
1.135"
700fps
I have 12 loaded up to test accuracy in a minute.

Interesting it's like a 9mm blackout
I guess it is. I ended up with 1000 of these bullets. I found a load that would cycle and not be overpressure with 3.0gr of W572. I actually bought the MP-254 to do this with it. Only thing they will chamber in is my Lone Wolf barrel which has a really long throat.
