That's looking good for you posted results!   

What is you primer?

Never used Longshot before.  Did you weight each charge or did you use a powder measure?  Very close spread on the velocities.

Weighed each load on Dillon beam scale.

Beam scale explains the results.  I use an RCBS beam scale that I purchased back in the early 80s. 

Thanks.

9.2 shot really well in my RIA 5" yesterday-didn't chrono (was at an indoor public range). 3x fired S&B brass showed no pressure signs.

Other loads tried successfully were MBC 180gr coated TC w/9.2, and MBC 200gr coated TC's and Doubletap 200gr WFNGC's. Both 200gr loads did well at 8.2gr.
I'm expecting to see 1250fps+ for the 180 loads and 1150+ for the 200's.

200 WFNGC's were loaded 1.230 for feeding, everything else 1.255".

9 grains of Longshot and a 180 grain slug is my standard. I don't know why I even bother to try anything else.

Greetings, I've had good results with 9.3gr longshot out of my G20 and 2011 under a 180gr precision delta
