I was browsing around for comments on Longshot in handgun rounds, and found a post by someone recommending using magnum primers with Longshot to get it to burn more thoroughly. That surprised me, since I'd assumed that any shotgun powder in a handgun (other than starting loads in a mild revolver round) would be operating at a higher pressure than any shotgun, and would cook off more or less completely. Do shotgun powders in high pressure pistol or magnum revolver rounds ever need a magnum primer?
I do get a lot of residue with Unique in my .32-20, but that is a tiny charge in a rather big case, so that seems inevitable. But I wouldn't use Longshot for anything milder than .38 +P.
