Hey guys
With the scarcity of most pistol powders I took the CSB-1 plunge.
With nothing (at the time) published I collected bits of data here, bits there, and eventually gained enough confidence to use Hodgdon's Universal load tables.
Spent Saturday testing loads, shooting at range, having fun
The bulk of the QuickLOAD predicted velocities are based off Universal, some are based off CSB-1 itself (I very recently updated QuickLOAD's data file, and now CSB-1 through CSB-6 is listed. A quick check of a few loads predicted about a 10% velocity reduction using CSB-1 vs. Universal, though the numbers in the table below contradict that).
Not enough time in the day to note spreads (though they were generally pretty minimal), just the # 'in the middle'.
DISCLAIMER: Don't use these loads, use published data. These loads worked in MY guns (TP-9, XDM, XDS, etc...).
