I have been shooting 11 gr Power Pistol 158 gr 1.169".

If there were a book load for 158 gr, Quickload thinks it would be 5.4 gr.
If there were a book load for 147 gr, Quickload thinks it would be 5.6 gr.
If there were a book load for 124 gr, Quickload thinks it would be 7.1 gr.
If there were a book load for 115 gr, Quickload thinks it would be 7.5 gr.

So I am shooting more than a double load, because that is all the powder that will fit. But then, I am an untrained amateur with a background in experiments. Most other hand loaders should just follow the recipes.
