I went another route. Shoot nothing but reduced loads all with various lead alloys, mostly 135s,165s/170s with powders like Trail Boss, Unique, Red Dot, Universal, 4227, 2400, 4756, 5744 etc etc. Its a blast; easy on the wallet and the shoulder and ears. At the range guys adjacent to me hearing one of the rounds go off start screaming at me" You got a squib" or "Be careful, you just stuck a bullet'. Sometimes the report is like a cap gun. Naturally, all for fun, killing paper targets, busting clays, jugs, etc out to 50 yds, but then again for some with better eyesight than mine , have worked on loads out to 100yds. Brass is hardly stressed and some are on their 5th reload and counting. Most of these loads are in the 900-1,200fps range. An additional benefit; with a gas check and a bit more testing I've worked up loads to 2,000fps. Some patience and knowledge is required;get the wrong boolit ie improper bhn and /or load to hot and yes you can turn your smoke pole into a sewer pipe.
