[QUOTE="TigerOnThe Hill, post: 3052456, member: 125976"] I feel your frustration working up a completely new load w/o an appropriate powder. Thank goodness you've got everything else you need. I've been loading for 308 Win in a Savage Striker handgun w/ a 14" barrel for many years. The prevailing thought in the handgun hunting community was the powders that perform best in a rifle will also perform best in a handgun w/ a shorter barrel. Yeah, you'll have significantly more muzzle blast/flash w/ the shorter barrel w/ any powder, but you've got a suppressor so that shouldn't be an issue. 👍 I've loaded 125 gr NBT, 125 gr NAB and 150 gr NBT in my 308. H380 gave me best velocity w/ the 150 gr bullets, but it favored H4895 and RL 15 w/ 125 gr bullets. Keep us updated. [/QUOTE]
