I was one of the first to use TOH and it gave me 50fps more velocity than the willow that I had been using in a 40-65, which got it within 25fps of what I was getting with Swiss 2F and with less weight. My powder is not as dense as Swiss but yields more velocity per grain by weight. It is not good enough powder for competition but works fine for hunting and informal shooting out to 300yd. I have taken 2 deer with my BPCR and 1 with my ML and multiple squirrels with it in a trade gun. Just a fun project if you like DIY stuff.
There are guys that are ringing out pretty good accuracy in that thread.
