The "Camp Perry Powder" is having some difficulties.

It burned us bad years ago. I'd never even consider 2520 in the rest of my years. I suppose this would vindicate that..

What was it doing? Pressure spikes in hot temperatures or something?

Thanks Tyrone. I've tried it, but was not too impressed... I'll go back to my AR Comp.. Thanks

bought a bunch of 8 pounders, like 8 IIRC. Speed was over 200 fps slower, and accuracy not there.

Normal 2520 was temp sensitive to start with...

cost me a lot that I had nothing to do with. Sold it cheap, with the caveat of what it was. If you were just banging stuff it worked ok enough

I hate just banging stuff, unless she's hot, then I might think about it.. Ha ha.. Anyway, I tried AA2520. Traded for a couple pounds of it a while back so I could try it with the 1000 75gr Hornady match bullets I bought. Right away I could see anomalies that I never saw before. Accuracy fluctuations from one group to the next. Some weird chidt. Pictures worth a 1,000 words:


This is with an older lot of AA2520 powder, not the recall lot Tyrone listed. I don't like it, as I've seen this weird happening with 3 different rifles. Its not just an anomaly related to this rifle. The first time I saws this happen, I thought it was just a fluke. I was shooting my Noveske with irons, so I thought it was me. Nope, not me, as it also does this with my best shooter, my Northtech Defense... Now I wish I wouldn't have chit canned those targets. I damned near posted them in the other thread we had going about the 75gr hornady vs. 77SMK....
