Re: Longshot powder
Bought a few pounds of it during the last powder shortage, loved it in the 45 colt & 454
never shot the max load, but mostly mid range for Ruger only 45 colt, and starting load in 454
great powder

Hi & Welcome
try the go/nogo gauge or measure case stretch before & after firing, then what i have done
is to just neck size the case & that works about the best for me, that was always with cast bullets
& psi no more than 25,000 psi, no problems
