Interesting replies.
res45 PMed me a utube link where a fella, tested 16 powders and only 3 reacted..Bullseye, Titegroup and BE-86.
==== Doubles Base
Here is the list that did NOT react: No. 5, No. 7, 2400, Unique, CFE 223, H110, H 4895, 700-X, CFE Pistol, Universal, IMR 4198, 3031 & W 231. --
many are Doubles Base
In the video, the fella used 4 colors of Eastwood PC and 2 different HyTek boolits. I am using Smokes, is Eastwood PC the same type as Smokes? I know there are
polymer, epoxy and maybe other types PCs.
These don't ASBBDT worth a darn we generally use Polyester mostly TGIC powder
Conditor, Jim and Leadmad, what brand of PC are you using that BE or TG is not affecting??
I use a lot of Cardinal and Tiger Drylac
propper bake time and temperature is the key --- Reach manufacturers specified FULL CURE for optimal results
Does anyone know enough about powders to say what TG, BE and BE-86 have in common? Or those double base
and the others are not???
In the video, he also stored some PCed loaded rounds with one of the reactive powders vertically, boolit-up and he thought there was no evidence of gassing of the powder affecting the PC on the base. I don't remember him saying he tested both the PC & HyTek in loaded rounds.
Maybe I will bake some for 30 minutes and test those again in TD and WSF. They all shoot well currently and don't leave lead or PC in barrels (handguns only-no rifles)
