I'm from the other side of the fence, a long time H-110 user, but in .410-bore Skeet loads. I dropped in to see if this thread might be applicable to my loads.
During the 20-years I've been using H-110, I've seen the warning label "DO NOT REDUCE H110 LOADS BY MORE THAN 3%." enough times to make me realize there's something different about H-110, and I don't have a clue what it is -- all I know is it works for me -- there's no way I'd deviate from the posted data for pistol loads. I prefer to learn by the mistakes of others. Thanks for sharing your misadventure, Sam, glad you were relatively unscathed. And, another thanks to Unclenick for his explanation. |

"there's something different about H-110, and I don't have a clue what it is"
The "it" is the fact that W296/H110 must have at least a 90% load density to burn correctly or a squib load will result. I've been using these two propellant long enough to remember when Winchester's published data listed ONE charge weight only with a note stating that the propellant was to be used EXACTLY as listed with no reduction in charge weight. Regardless of what you've read on the internet or elsewhere, a magnum primer is necessary along with tight bullet pull which, again, is NOT the same as a heavy crimp. Bruce |
