Daryl - great post. Keep it up!

Hansol - you are to be commended for doing your homework before starting your shooting project, and for not giving up in the face of nay-sayers. Some of the latter are well-meaning, others are just blowhards quick to pooh-pooh the ideas of others. Most all of them have no idea that SGs are quite low pressure, especially with round ball loads. Nor that carefully selected smokeless loads might actually give lower peak pressure than B.P. loads, let alone Pyrodex loads. Care is needed in loading, yes, but as I say - you did your homework and are on your way. Enjoy!

Aloha, Ka'imiloa
