Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Powder for you reloaders

FYI, Powder Valley now has a few powders available. Hit the "available" option and save yourself a long trip thru stuff not in stock.

One is Alliant 1200R, which is reportedly designed for the.223, so it would probably work in the .358 Win, etc.. It's not that well known, not a lot of load data, so people don't seem to be grabbing it up.

PV also has X-Terminator, as well as 24N41, a Vv slow burner good in big cases, like the 26 Nosler, etc.

MidwayUSA has Ramshot LRT. I never heard of this one, must be new. It's said to have a burn rate similar to Retumbo. It may last a while until folks figure out what it is. Looks like a good one. Also recommend selecting Midway's "available" option.

Seems to me that somewhat unfamiliar powders don't seem to be grabbed up as fast as better known ones, but they are probably good performers.

If you see a powder you can use, better jump on it. May not be there next time you look.

Ramshot X-Terminator is the same powder as Accurate 2230.

In my notes I have that it is the same but I also have AA2300 as temperature stable and Exterminator has a copper fouling agent added. The manufacturer may have tweaked the base product somewhat depending on label.
I just bought eight pounds of Exterminator this month as it was available at the time and AA2300 was not. I would have gone with AA2300 if Exterminator was not available. A tossup if both were available but it is going in training ammunition so the copper fouling agent may be appreciated.
