Are you sure that's N-324? is this a non Canister powder since the Pistol (shotshell?) N numbers tend to go N310, N320, N330, N340, N350, Then there is 3N37 and 3N38. There used to be an N105 and the...

When I loaded the CSB-1 I picked up, I felt that it was a bit faster than Universal and was closer to International. As with all of these non canister powders, it's best to always back down 10% and...
I too have wads and even a lot of hulls in the Activ line. They are a tapered hull. I would usually use the old Winchester AA Hull data and would choose one wad size up. So if I were wanting to load...
When I was testing primers, specifically Small Pistol primers, I found that they were the weakest of all of them. Fiocchi's worked fine in all of my firearms, on average, they gave the lowest...

Actually I think anyone can sell powder, it doesn't have any special hazmat issue for storage other than states can mandate how much can be displayed. There are restrictions on shipping but other...

Just my $.02. Hercules (and later Alliant) has data for Bullseye in a light target low recoil load for 12 guage. Something on the order of 15.5-17.5 gr in a 12 gauge with a 3/4 or 7/8 oz load. This...

It's good stuff for light loads, it's the only powder I've ever seen that will propel the wad out of the shotgun at velocity that would normally cause a "poof" load with other powder. I once dented a...
Actually, for me it's orange. Too many years of shooting an orange ramp front sight and my eyes simply pick up orange better than any other color.

At one point I was looking to give myself an edge over other competitive revolver shooters. I was looking for a bullet profile that might help me "load a moonclip faster" into either my 610 or 627....

I remember using it for light to medium bullet weights in the 300 Win Mag (150-165gr). I still have about a pound of it but it's mostly sitting due to my no longer having anything that large anymore.

I know several action shooters (high volume pistol shooters) who loved the Aussie Universal but can't stand and stopped using the Canadian Universal due to the only thing consistent about Canadian...

I know a few high power guys that use the Accurate 2495 as a direct replacement for 4895 (I know, not a SW powder). I don't yet know anyone who has messed with SW powders in the Garand. The high...
They sort of did seem like they put up with it. I asked about the powder and the person who was the executer (sp?) said that the day she contacted me, she had removed and disposed of it.. Damn! I...
I got these from a gentleman who passed recently that was a member at my gun club. He had some interesting stuff and I thought I'd share some photos of the primers he had. I tried to convince the...

I've used:
Clean Shot
Heavy Pistol (Good for H110/296 Sub)
Ultimate Pistol (Great for 9mm and 40 S&W full power ammo)
Tac Rifle (Nice for .223/5.56 to 69 gr bullets)
Have heard good reports...

Interesting. The common thing I hear around my club is that they like N310 with 45 acp and N320 for 9mm and 40 S&W. N340 is usually used for the higher velocity stuff as I mentioned above.

One place that Vitt powders are usually available at are stores or shops that cater to action shooters. They use N310 (45 acp, 40 S&W), N320 (9mm, 40 S&W), N330 (9mm, 40 S&W), N340 (9 major, 38...

A friend gave me a good amount of Dupont Pistol #6 recently. I loaded a bunch of it in 38 Spl with data gleaned from I think Speer #7 and so far so good.. Nice light 38 spl loads.

My usual alloy for 40 S&W is 95-3-2 (ish). I've loaded 40 S&W with bullets as light as 140 and as heavy as 220's. I've loaded it in a several pistols and a couple of revolvers.
I've loaded the 140...

Based on the OP... I picked up a case of WC867 and wanted to delve into the world of Duplexing. Well, I had a good amount of 223 Rem brass (RP actually) and worked up my load data based on the OP.
