One thing I forgot to mention - I get better results with large pistol primers.
Slamfire 1 - b.p. velocity (Swiss 3F) 43 grs. by weight - 1,450 f.p.s.
Arkansas Paul - Actually, the rifle is actually easier to clean. About 4 to 5 patches and that's it! Getting a completely clean patch after shooting smokeless takes about 50% more......... Now the cases.....that's a different story. I soak them in a 50/50 white vinegar/water solution for about 1 minute then rinse with hot water.
scrat - Yes indeed. Me too! I like the plume of black smoke as well.
higene - I think you meant to say .321" diameter. I would suggest filling the case to about 1/3 to 1/2 way up the neck rather than completely full. I found the best accuracy came with that much powder.
