Hi guys, I have a dumb question for you all. Here goes: I have a friend who has a 1911, and he would like a few cartridges that will throw a big, dramatic, ball of flame when fired. Not high velocity or high recoil, just a big ball of flame for laughs. I have 230 grain lead round nose projectiles, and I'm looking for some advice on what powder to use for this silliness, while still being safe. So, something that I could find published data for. Hodgdon's online data says I can go up to 8.2 grains of HS-6, would HS-6 be a slow enough powder to get what I'm looking for? I use quite a lot of HS-6 in .357 Magnum with 8.5 grains under a 158 grain LSWC Boolit, and it doesn't seem to throw much fire, although it's still just enough to let you know you're shooting a Magnum. I absolutely love it. Any thoughts?
Scotty
