[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 2533723, member: 109136"] Thanks for the responses guys, I didn't want to argue with my buddy, but thought the same thing. These days with all the powder shortages, we are all looking at alternatives. I shoot Pistol Silhouette with a Stiller actioned XP style pistol. It has a 15" 8 twist barrel that is amazing accurate. For the 50 meter chickens, I have been shooting 68 gr Berger's pills with LT-32. I'm down to my last 1/2 pound. Our State shoot is in two weeks and our big shoot is mid-July. Don't have enough for both shoots. I have loads for heavier bullets using H335, but at 50 meters they hit so hard the chicken Silo's bounce back up. I found some LT-30, faster than the LT-32, going to try it. Hope it will works well in a short barrel. Only testing will confirm. I know I'm being anal, how much accuracy do you need for a target at 50 meters, lol. But if I miss, I want it to be me, not the load. I love this site, so much info and so many people willing to share and help! Randy [/QUOTE]
