    Thanks mate. 23 grs of 2205 is very similar to W296/H110 loads (Belmont magnum pistol). Have you compared the two powders and seen any differences in performance? What I've read about W296 makes me very cautious when using it. I see there's no real flexibility with loads. They say hot is the only safe way to go.

    Yes they recommend not loading even slightly reduced loads only use WW296 / H110 for fullhouse loads
    I sell these https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Lis...?id=1960767699 good for plinking use Trail Boss or AP70.
