[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 84004, member: 10"] Ernie, Personally I think the 6mm284 is pretty extreme in capacity to bore volume for a handgun length barrel. You also know that even though I think this I seldom let it stop me from experimenting and pushing the line as we will be doing very soon to the EXTREME with your new project [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!! That said, I also believe it is much easier to drive a heavy bullet to good velocity in a short barrel then it is to drive a light bullet to high velocity in a short barrel. If I were to build myself a 6-284 in a handgun, it would be designed for at least a 110 gr bullet and better yet something like the wildcat 120 gr ULD RBBT. In a handgun, you will still get the same velocity advantage as a rifle does with certain powders. TO get the most velocity, possible we are looking to keep the highest amount of pressure behind that bullet until it leaves the muzzle. To get this the slower powders still produce the top velocity in extreme handguns. Only problem with using slow burners in a handgun are mainly muzzle blast which can be severe. It really makes a brake work amazingly well though!!! So for the combination you referred to, I would start with Rl-22 and possibly even play with some H-1000 or Rl-25 and see how they performed. Retumbo may be a bit slow but if the other two performed well I would possibly test this one as well. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
