Nice and pithy! Thanks CR!


And an excellent recommendation for the circumstances. Stick powders tend to be less "blasty" than ball powders out off short barrels.

antelope sniper;
Good morning to you sir, I hope that this first Sunday of the year finds you and yours well.

That's an interesting observation and if I think about it I'd have to agree with it, but that's based on the 4895s mostly, though as mentioned I've burned a fair bit of IMR3031 and IMR4064 and can't recall them being quite as well "mild mannered" for lack of a more scientific term.

There's likely some science in the basic makeup of the powders as well and if you or some educated individual cares to share, I'd be interested in reading it.

All the best to you all in 2021 sir.

Dwayne
