I use this for loads for kids, but since it is using fast powders, they will work very well in shorter barrels, such as handguns...

20 to 25 grains of SR 4759, with ANY bullet Weight

15 to 22 grains of Blue Dot, with ANY Bullet weight...

Standard Large Rifle primers..

both powders are bulky and are not position sensitive in the case for reliable and consistent ignition... no fillers are needed either...

both are also astoundingly accurate...even in finicky 243 rifle barrels...
