    Mike I'm getting ready to make this load. Its going to be in a 8" barrel. Obliviously I need to back off (10%, more?) but any other suggestions or updates?

    Should be GTG, Dale.

    Lil Gun is a great shorter barrel powder, and Nosler's data for that load says "18.0 min, 20.0 max" (16 inch pac-nor barrel) though at 20 grains it is a compressed load, which is why I backed off to 19.1. By my ciphering, using NATO brass anyway, that is the case "full but not compressed" point.

    Believe me, even at 19.1 that load will knock the snot out of whatever you shoot with it.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    My first 2 300 blackout rounds made with Rumbler Power.



    The first round was test fired at 9pm last night. It caused a tear in the space time continuum, allowing me to have a conversation with Thomas Jefferson. When I told TJ the state of things in this country he was pissed and bitch slapped me, twice.

    My reloading setup.

    BTW, by my calculations using Rumblers 19.1 grain lil gun recipe, with brass, the cost per round is .53 cents.

    Once you reuse the brass (now its free) the cost is .33 cents.

    Even cheaper if you don't over pay for your powder.
