I've been having a devil of a time trying to get my Epson photo scanner to work since my computer's operating system has been upgraded. I.e., Mac no longer supports 32 megabit scanners (in favor of 64mb) and my scanner won't scan color positives (slides) and I suppose, negatives, which I no longer have. What I'm trying to do is determine whether the device is worth keeping or do I put it in the trash (btw, I've already spoken with Epson). Anyhow, here's a PDF, which the machine seems to reproduce OK, but let's see if it uploads first.
As for the load of Lil Gun, after reading all kinds of end of days warnings about it "over there,"I decided to try it in my Ruger 10.5" bbl'ed SBH. I chose a mild load and got pretty good results with none of the bbl. heating/gas cutting* some warned about. In fact, I think I could increase the charge by several grains and still have a safe load which may also be good in large rifle cartridges (e.g., .30-06) with CB's of course. Anyhow, here's the PDF (below):
*If you want to see how hot a bbl. gets and quickly, try loading the .44mag. with 32gr. FFFg blackpowder and firing six shots in ~1 minute: Same accuracy as with smokeless (with the same CB), but plenty of heat!
