mavracer, that is Skeeter Skelton's 'planet wrecker special' load, made commercially. We used to load a HBWC backwards, over a coal scoop of 2400; shot a few thru' a 2.5" M66, and the 140 grain bullet was crowding 1100'sec. Mas Ayoob, or a really zealous DA, wouldn't like the handload.
OldGrouch, thnx for the explanation, and please, take no offense. My assumption was that these tiny Derringers were some sort of defensive arm, and simply felt there were better alternatives.
Not saying that we don't own some guns just for grits and shins; I reload .32s to feed all sorts of old crocks, not to mention a Scorpion PCC.
Truly wish, as previously stated, that someone made a smooth and elegant traditional double Derringer, even if it isn't in an especially useful caliber.
