So…20.7gn universal 1oz loads cause flames to come out of my barrels and the shot went maybe 10yds, and even left some unburnt powder in my barrels (see pic below).

The 19gn 1 1/8oz loads felt nice and soft and broke clays from the 16yd trap line.

I just got a big supply of longshot. I'll have to try these. Two of my three guns (lifters) have 9 gauge barrels. These may be too low for them.

Nice crimps. Which tool, hand or drill press?

Guess I phrased my question poorly. I was interested in hand or drill press but also whose crimp tool you used.

Used a cordless drill and Precision Reloading’s four-pin roll crimp tool and also their crimp base and jaws.

I’ve got roll crimp tools for the 8,10,12 and 16 , they all came from BOI or Precision Reloading . I only use them in a table top Craftsman drill press . Not saying hand drill won’t be okay but I think I’ll do a better job with a drill press .

Loaded up the following to hopefully try today:

(A) 20.7gn Universal, 1oz #8, cheddite 2 5/8”, cheddite primer, versalite wad (SP-10 compatible?), with a cheerio or two, roll crimped

(B) 19gn IMR Red, 1 1/8oz #8, cheddite 2 5/8”, cheddite primer, versalite wad (SP-10 compatible?), with 2 cheerios, roll crimped

I purchased 8 pounds of Longshot a few months ago in anticipation of using it when I ran out of preferred powders in some others . Since then I picked up more of my preference powders and let a friend have the Longshot .
