The grains are kind of strange looking, almost like they have little holes through them. And they are hard. But I had no problem cutting the charge. And when seating, it seems real firm down there.
I was kind of hoping Semisane would get some of that powder and then tell us more about it...
I am told they DO have little holes in them, a consequence of the "extruding" process. No real problem with cutting, but takes a little more force. I do like the firmness, no settling when measuring and seating the bullet sure feels different, just a firm seat, no compression felt.
the other worry is whether conicals would shoot with it. At least the tight fitting hornady FPB's do. And not even a hint of a hangfire. As well as they shoot, works for me!
