We made some loads with Longshot that sounded and felt good but the pressures were too low. Don't just rely on feel and sound.

Longshot can fool you because it's a very slow powder, its burning much of the way down the barrel, in low light you will often see more muzzle flash and it produces a louder boom. It's a great powder for pushing heavier hunting loads and keeping chamber pressure down,
