Interesting  variation in charges of WAC for 6.8 - 7.4 for Major. Surprised that the deviation in these open pistols varies so much......I’m at 7.3 WAC as I speak.

Depends how many gofer holes is in the top of the barrel and slide

It is crazy right? I can use 6.8 WAC over a Falcon 125 and make 173 PF out of my Hardy Mongoose Shorties. Yet some people have to run 7.3 to make 170 out of full size guns.

Different LOTS of powder can also be waaay different which is why recipes always need to be taken with a grain of salt .

This is true. Though I have never seen a large swing between lots of WAC I have with other powders for sure.

My last 8lb jug was 3/10ths grain different from current jug.
