What is the practice round that you have built and shot the most in the last 6 months? For me since I've been limited to indoor ranges it has been the .38 Special, using 3.9 grains of Hercules Infallible pushing a 158 grain FCP TC bullet. |

Not familiar with Infallible; is it a Canada thing? Almost all I've shot in the last six months have been .22 rimfire, with a small amount of 223 and 9mm. |

About 18 months ago I was offered about 9 lbs of Infallible by Hercules. It was manufactured from 1898 to 1948 as a shotgun powder. I'm down to 4 lbs now, been using it for Cowboy Action loads in .38 Spl.

I wouldn't want to use it for a firearm that's to be used in the Olympics but for Cowboy Action with big steel targets out to a max of 25-30 yds, it works in both rifle and pistols.

There is no powder I would want to use in the Olympics. Just watching an Olympic event makes my back hurt and my knees numb. And watching figure skating make me dizzy. |

If I find myself trapped in a random Olympic event, I'm going to shoot my way clear.

Saturday loaded 800 45acp (only had 837 bullets). 1000 pain in azz 9mm an 600 38 spl.Stopped with those when ran out of empty boxes.. Might last a couple range trips, need to spend a couple days casting. Not a big project using 4 an 6 cavity molds, two of each, the sizing an lubing takes time.
