are exceptional with bullets of 225-240<br />
grains. Both are ball-type powders with<br />
similar burning speeds, and a maximum<br />
load of24.5/H-110 and a magnum primer<br />
will move the 240-grain jacketed bullet at<br />
1,400 f.p.s. in a 7'h-inch revolver. Here<br />
again, though, one pays the price for those<br />
extra 50-100 feet per second, as the ball<br />
types must be thrown in heavy charges resulting<br />
in severe muzzle blast and recoil.<br />
My own inclinations are to sacrifice 50<br />
f.p.s. or so and keep the .44 Magnum<br />
within comfortable shooting levels.<br />
Indeed, one rap against the .44 Magnum<br />
is slow recovery for a second shot, and the<br />
massive gas blasts from heavy doses of<br />
slow-burners like 296, H-llO, and 2400 will<br />
always be obnoxious. For that reason,<br />
along with improved gun life, .44 Magnum<br />
owners might wisely consider mid-range<br />
reloads that operate 100-200 f.p.s. below<br />
maximum. Such reloads still outdo the old<br />
.44 Special. For shaved loads, the faster<br />
burning powders ax:e indicated; merely reducing<br />
the charge ofslow-burning fuels<br />
can leave air space in the case, and that<br />
isn't conducive to perfect interior ballistics.<br />
Fast- and medium-speed propellants are<br />
better suited to reloads that have air space<br />
in the powder chamber. A list of these<br />
THE MOST<br />
POWERFUL<br />
AIR PISTOL IN<br />
ITS CLASS<br />
Power and accuracy. Not usually<br />
found together in an air pistol-until<br />
now. The BSA Scorpion charges to<br />
full power with a single cocking<br />
stroke. No "pumping" or CO 2 variables.<br />
The unique power seal gives<br />
you an identical release of air pressure<br />
for every shot. You get the same<br />
sizzling velocity and same straight<br />
trajectory. Accuracy is phenomenal.<br />
