Scrol down till you come to the new velocity info with a buch of bullets

Pretty amazing thatthey included the 320 grain White PowerStar in that chart.

Interesting and somewhat troubleing that they do not recoimmend bullets over 350gr. Not sure why but I guess that takes out my 460 and 488 conicals. Not sure if it is a thing with the powder that too heavy a bullet causes very high pressures or just that they can't claim high velocities so they want to limit to 350.

If I were to guess I would go with increased pressure. But It is a guess. I ran some ballistics on the Nosler 260 Part that I use for hunting load. To achieve 100gr Blackhorn velocity Iwould have to use 120 gr 777.

I have wondered about the restriction against the heavy conical to, they admit that this is a progressive burning powder so it follows a person would have to use a somewhat reduced load and that the velocity would be considerably lower, but thats normal anyhow, I suppose your are right about them wanting to keep their marketing image untill they get a clintel built up.

Iagree that it would be a HIGH pressure spike. IMO, This looks like smokeless powder, cracked just enough to smoke a little. But when it comes to heavier bullets without sabots to ease the initial launch, that's when the High pressure spike will show itself[&:]

Think about it.....It says TIGHT fitting sabots, FIRMLY packed powder charge, SEALED breech plug---for best results. This is to harness that progressive burn pressure

I agree, itsounds like a fast burning smokless powder. Non corrosive, needs pressure, and no heavy bullets(atleast without reducing charge). Now all yall can have a savage!

I am curious to see if this stuff lives up to expectations. Sounds good but I've heard it before.

I just hope some dumbell don't load 150gr loose with a 300gr bullet.

There is nothing fool proof to a sufficiently trained fool.

Just got an email from Sportsmans Warehouse that indicates they will be testing it in some of the stores by June. The preliminary price is $29.99 for the 10 oz container. He also indicated that Albuquerque will be one of the stores on the list. I also sent an email to Western Powder about it but haven't heard back from them yet.
