Pyrodex P being a finer grain powder will often times give more pressure and less fowling. I personally like Pyrodex P over the RS or Select if I had to say. I really like Pyrodex P when shooting large conicals. It just seems to get better accuracy with the Pyrodex P.

With the No Excuse Conicals.. I think you will like the Pyrodex P much better then the RS. Actually the P for sabots seem to work very well also. Keep us posted about your results...

Also remember that Pyrodex P is approximately 15% stronger then Pyrodex RS so adjust your loads accordingly. I've never put the powder over a Chronograph to compare them but I am sure someone has. Also I read that 15% estimate on a different forum and have always went by that guideline. Although I still, even with Pyrodex P will climb a powder charge until I get the best accuracy. I just pay more attention to when I am maxing out.
