I am still going to hold out some hope that the white stuff does turn to a dust and accounts for the while powder that you get when shooting APP.

I was pretty sure that it was not a nitro powder. I was just thinking they had refined their process to produce a better grade (higher pressure per grain) than the previous formulas.

At least one person has implied that it was and he got his info from a APP rep that said it was similar to IMR 3031. :poke:

You'll know what it is if it cleans up with water.

Ya, i forgot about those comparisons...

I really didn't think it had anything in common with IMR 3031 other than maybe weight/volume comparisons. There was always the chance though they found a way to add a small amount of a nitro type product to the existing formula.

Then it still could clean up with water.

Yep it could and Sqezer said there were two different size powders in it.... I wonder if they did duplex it and if they did how would you ever keep it consistent??? so now I am thinking they would not do that for sure...

Mike if you separated the granule sizes with a screen and burned them if they have a different base they will smell different. It would not be the first time some one that was going into the red to far did some thing desperate.

when I separated the granulates it was hard to tell if they smelled different do to me having sinus infection, sorry.

Thank you for your efforts. I will proceed with caution based on the visual inspection. If it is some kind of duplex, it can be very dangerous a bit too fast.

OK... a little bad news that I have found... And this is not first hand information... There is a group if folks in Pennsylvania own/or work in a sporting goods store. They have had the 'Super Powder' for 3 months now and had been shooting and testing it in their ML's. They have declared it unsatisfactory for their applications and have returned to shooting T7.

I still remain 'open' to trying it...
