My only experience with Longshot is with the .40 S&W. I didn't get anywhere near the velocities that Hodgdon claims in their website data. The accruacy and pressures were OK, but the velocity was no more than what I get with much lighter charges of slightly faster burning powders. I've just had too good of luck with Win Superfield in the .40 to use Longshot. With the .45, the Universal Clays and Win231 will do the same thing with far lower charge weights. I guess I'll have to try some in my 9mm's after the Nationals. Who knows, it may the best new thing !
