Have any of you all tried Shooters World Buffalo Rifle powder?
I just became aware of it a few days ago. On the Shooters World Powder burn rate chart they show it as having the same burn rate as Accurate 5744. They also tout it as their general purpose reduced loads powder.
"Buffalo Rifle has a burn rate optimized for straight walled rifle cartridges, as well as reduced recoil/reduced energy loads in virtually all rifle applications...
This propellant has a burn rate slower than the venerable 4759, but can be used in similar applications...
The surface of this propellant holds no deterrent or burn rate modifier. Therefore, it ignites quite consistently with extremely low loading densities in standard rifle loads. This same ignition characteristic aids accuracy when used with cast lead bullets and long throated chambers. Despite Buffalo Rifle being an extruded propellant, we have found good flow characteristics through a volumetric powder dump. The grain is narrow, and cut short."
However they also show: "*Guidelines for reduced loads are currently being generated."
They do have a decent start to reduced load data, but it's not yet available for tons of cartridges. Just curious if any of you Trail Boss / IMR SR 4759 / Accurate 5744 fans have given it a go?
