Shortwave-You seem so sure of better accuracy with powder,I'm gonna give it a try,does that mean I need a scale?I'm a little concerned about powder getting past the sabot in the speed loader too.I don't know if you've seen my other thread on cutting a pellet,but I put a 50 grain pellet in my 3-jaw chuck(I have a small lathe)with a little over half sticking out,turned the lathe on slow,took a hacksaw and didn't do much more than score it.The pellet separated beautifully.I've got 6 halves to try.My Ruger calls for 120 grains max and I'm after maximum energy,trajectory and of course accuracy so I'm going to try both the Ruger and the Triumph and see what happens.
