It won’t hold enough of it. AA1680 too slow

I bet, maybe with something like a 135-155 gr. LilGun has more energy than H110/296, AA#9, 2400, for what that would hold. You can’t seat long (Huey and my favored trick) in a semi-auto. Heavier bullets burn powder more efficiently but encroach on capacity within the limited OAL. Then back to what I said about light bullets.

As Sean mentioned on straight wall cases, with limited capacity, you quickly hit the wall with potential performance. No replacement for displacement (capacity volume), it’s either there or it’s not.

- Would a slower powder help regain some in longer barrels? (nm) - Asa, 2020-08-27, 12:28

- Kind of underwhelming, same as a 1873 Winchester in .44 WCF - WB, 2020-08-27, 07:35
- Yes , very common for that to happen with straight wall - Sean Harper, 2020-08-27, 07:33
