  Yep !,,go'an try some TB, in the o'l 40/60 chappie. Don't know if the term "fluffy"is correct it look's more like "poofy".  Anyway doing 14.5 gr. this time did 2 rds.of 13gr.,,yesterday,,recoil very light. I like the way it fills the case (to the bottom of the bullet),,,course i'm use'n my 1884 loading tongs,,210gr. Will holler back.
