New APP - Super Powder
On a couple other ML sites this new powder is getting a lot of discussion, since no-one has brought it here yet, thought I would start the discussion...
Check this link.... And make note of the velocities...
http://americanpioneerpowder.com/Jim...owderForm.html
APP suggests, 100 grains max and a max bullet weight of 250 grains.... that in itself makes a suggestion to me - what do you guys think...
Remember those velocities....
On their web site the old 2f APP is listed with a 120 grains and a 240 grain bullet getting a velocity of 1905. With the new powder they are suggesting close to 2000fps with 100 grain and a 250 grain bullet....
That is real close to what I am getting with 110 grains of BH - problem is how inflated are their numbers.... and on the other hand it is far better than any other APP that I have ever shot.

SABOTLOADER, i have been looking at this powder for some time now, i even asked MD about it several times. seems interesting if nothing else. i have read everything i can find on it. i have never seen anything suggesting the"max" load of super powder is 100 gr. they do list some .240 and .250 bullets and velocities created with a 100 gr charge.i also have found several places that sell it online and it seems it only is available in 2f form and no 3f like the old APP and shockey gold..the prices i have seen online are actually very reasonable. if it wasn't for hazmat costs, i would have tried it myself already.

Another interesting suggestion by APP - It is for inlines and BP cartrides only....

Other than that one page at the link, you can't find anything else about it on the site. It doesn't show up on their Products page. Where did you find that picture of the jug?

But with those velocities and $25 for 1lb bottle - I do want to try some.... that $25 dollar amount will be come $20 at Wal Mart type places....
I can not imagine I really want to try some APP - but I git a real feeling it might be different....
