Hi-Power Jack Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 No problem. Since you're a Floridian, you get to make one mistake ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 All the powders recommended are good and work well. You need to get what is mostly available to you at the best price. I tried WAC, CFE Pistol, and Silhouette. They all worked good and I am using WAC at the moment due to availability. HS6 is available, but not pheasable due to cost. I may get around to trying it out.

I published more load data on oil in the Reloading forum. Mark 8.8 sounds like an awfully high charge weight with a 124gr. 8 Gr makes 176pf in my gun with 124mg Jhp **Edited** im going off memory here so maybe im wrong on my charge weight and PF. I'll have to check my notes and confirm. DISREGARD for now. (this is another reason why it is important to use a chrono and work up your own load to confirm PF) Edited June 14, 2017 by Shmella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah I've been using it for about a year now (when I started shooting open) and I think it works well though I really haven't tried anything else besides doing a work up of HS-6 which I didn't like. I'm thinking about trying Silhouette when I run out of my last 8# keg. My load is 7.3gn 572, WSP, 124gn MG JHP, 1.165 OAL which makes 172 PF.

Bamboo Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I really liked SR4756 in 38super and was a little bummed when they stopped making it. I read that Chris Hodgdon said something about ww572 being a replacement for it, and I got a pound of ww572 to try but right off the bat they are obviously different - one is a flake, the other a ball and the density is quite different. I haven't developed any loads with ww572 yet but physically it looks a lot like the silhouette/HS-6/WAC/CFE family of powders. When I get off my PCC kick and get back into open I was going to work up a load and compare to similar 38 super rounds loaded with SR4756. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we digress but here it is-->> 38 Super - SR4756 at 8.3gr, MG 124gr JHP, OAL 1.235", CCI SPP or Win/Tula SRP = 167pf out of three port 5.4" barrel. Note that SR4756 is a shotgun powder and varies a bit from lot to lot in pistols. This is from the last lot I had, not sure what that lot number is now as I loaded it all up.

b18prl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks for the info! I'm picking up some old stock 4756 from a retired local GM here in Orlando and will try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
