I have a new model 11 sitting there with primer, bullets and dies, and no rifle powder. I ran across some reduced velocity loads using a couple pistol powders. It happens that I have Hornady 55 gr FMJ bullets and some Titegroup. I was thinking about trying some of these.

I understand they were designed for use with suppressors. I don't really care about the velocity, or power, as long as they function properly, and are accurate. I will be using them in my model 11, so no worries about enough power to activate the slide.

Anyone ever try them? If they work well, it would certainly keep the cost down on .223 loads. Data calls for 3.1 grains max, with no start load. You could get over 2,000 rounds out of a lb of Titegroup.
