Lil Gun in the 17 Squirrel

[Daryl]

Yeah- I forgot about W296 and H110 - both probably good in the squirrel. Doesn't Tod Kindler's "Sweet Seventeens" have data for the Squirrel using 296?

Also V110 is very accurate in the squirrel/ Mink cases. If I didn't have 10lbs of 296 Iwould shoot n110 exclusivly.

The first powder I tried was 296 and it performed ok and I'm sure top end speeds can be found with powders that share that burn rate.

I did however get a few flyers that I couldn’t explain other than perhaps powder being temp sensitive (it was averaging mid 20’s). Therefore I wanted to see if other powder loads presented the same results.

I know this lil round will shoot since it will post three shot group hovering in the mid .3s and five shot in high .4s, low .5s if I do my part. The squirrel is a lot of fun.

Now if I could find the cause of the occasional hiccup.

W296 and H110 produce identical velocity and pressure in many ctgs. and in those, can be loaded gr. for gr. for identical results. How they fair in the Hornet case, I don't know.

[Daryl]

Seems to me I've seen AA#9 used in the Squirrel. That so?

[Stephen Grant]

I have see data for that powder Daryl but haven't tried it yet.

I did shoot the H110 and 296 side by side last week and could tell they ran neck and neck by weight.
