Thanks! I really like the way that 296 feeds and I have settled on Power Pistol right now as it also feeds accurately. But I was hoping. 296 is my powder of choice for 357 mag,44 mag and 357 maximum, and I have a lot of it!

I have seen some data with 296 out of 6" barrels and it is clear that the powder isn't efficient in such a short barrel. Pressure is way down around 22,000. I was hoping that a longer barrel would get things up to speed and allow the powder to burn more completely. A 6" barrel has a phenomenal muzzle flash.  Appears that it just doesn't have enough capacity in the case to do the job.

Hmm, I am new to this web site and seem to have posted my question where I didn't intend it to be. And I can't find it now to remove it. So forgive me for "double posting."

Has anyone worked up a load in a ten to 14" barrel with a 180 gr bullet using 296 or 110 powder?
