yup, I couldn't either. I found some old threads on some sights and there was one old boy that had been using between 10-12 in his brass frames for a long time, with no problems. Also saw some recommendations to drop the load in the steel frame to the low 20's. I'm going to try these loadings next time I go to the range, and see how my performance is. If I don't see an issue with it, I'll probably stick with it. I could order pyrodex from Cabelas, but I've heard it gets dirty real quick, and the range at Ft. Hood does not allow you to clean guns on the line, or on the bench behind the safe line when they call an all clear. Kinda don't have a source of soapy water there either, lol!
