I had a good look at the pistol loading data for 708, I also have a box 120 BT here that I might use up first, they seem to be getting pretty good velocities with lighter rounds out of short barrels, I'll make one big batch of all my remaining 120BT then develop a load for the 162gr.

Interesting to note that they seem to be getting beter results from the 2208 than the 2206h. I seem to remember it the other way around for short barrels, Must have been only in the larger bores.

Greetings William,
The idea that faster powders are needed in short barrels is largely a myth. It gets repeated ad nauseum in the firearm press but it is still a myth. Actual tests do not support it.
