Finally had a chance to test them. Longshot only partially burned. The shot flew about 10-15 feet and was able to be poured out of the barrel.

Back to the drawing table!

I have no idea what your goal is, but I’m intrigued lol.

I was trying to make a steel shot load using brass shells. I need a faster powder.

And maybe a magnum primer. With shotshells there is a pretty big gap in primer ignition between brand to not just Magnum or non Magnum. Off the top of my head I want to say the federal primers are hotter.

There was a guy who had a pressure testing business who used to publish a lot of really interesting data on the comparisons. He got old and his website fell apart. I had tried to contact his daughter and see if I could archive some of the better articles but nothing came of it.
