Well I tried to get this thread back on track (#42).

Perhaps I should help, being one of those getting things off track.
I also use 2400 and HS-6 more than H110, mostly for less blast and recoil. I tried #7 but still prefer either HS-6 or 2400. Power Pistol is good for a little less recoil, but it too is flashy. Picked up a pound of CFE Pistol and will be loading up some of it to try in one of the magnums or 45 Colt soon. 2400 is kinda like a science experiment in the Casull. Plenty of heat, light, and sound with each pull of the trigger. Haven't felt the need to step up to H110 in it yet. |

Ya' know...I'm thinking. Maybe 110 and 296 are the same powders. What does everyone else think? Ha!

Nick CS. I'm becoming a believer of having different powders for different loads, namely in revolvers given their versatility. Interesting abpit 2400 and hs6, Ive got a little hs6 Ill have to try. Ill keep the H110 around fpr impressing friends.
Northof50, thats ludicrous!

I was once asked to leave with a refund of my range fee. 44 mag upper range load of 110 under 240gr ball (IIRC) made the steel walls of the indoor range ring like a bell, in addition to the jumbo size fireballs.
Next time I was there they told me there were dents in the back stop where I was shooting, and to leave the 44 at home.

+1 to the guys who said the flash is worse with lighter loads. These ball powders need pressure to burn efficiently (which is why you should never go below published minimums with them). So, the more pressure, the better it burns, leaving less to flash once it contacts the air. Mild loads from my .454 produce a fire ball the size of a basketball, but with hot loads ya can't see any flash at all.

Try shooting H110 loads at night. It's like a camera flash. The first time I did this I was shooting into a snow bank...

H110 in the 454 Casull is a flame thrower, love it. If you don't hit the bear, you set him on fire
