FreQRiDeR Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've been getting consistent sub/half moa with this powder in my 16" barrel AR10. Using 155 SMK, 168SMK and 180SGK so far with excellent results. QuickLoad says I'm getting 100% powder burn which is nice, keeps things cleaner. Apparently it is very temperature stable. I don't see many people using it in the forums much? I think it's better suited for the shorter, carbines as it's a little faster than RL15. Any one else have feedback?

392heminut Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I've never used it but I'm considering it. How does it meter through the powder measure? The coarser powders give me fits and make enough of a mess on my Dillon 550 that I don't want to mess with them even if they shoot good!

FreQRiDeR Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's large extruded cylinder, same as RL15. My guess it wouldn't meter too well. Not an issue for me 'cuz I weigh each charge. And yes, you weigh each kernel of powder. Pita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Jon, I'm too damn lazy to weigh each charge! Set the powder measure and check it about every 100 rounds to make sure it's still where it's supposed to be. That's how I roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreQRiDeR Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Might want to try a different charger? Gotta be something out there that works well with stick powders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think happened is with each one I weighed, I was very deliberiate with the arm instead of going production speed. HUGE variance at the range.
