    Ok, I'll take exception to Felix's statement, if only to shake the boat a bit.

    I doubt anyone can rely on the quality of the chemistry of high dollar drugs any more or less than others for one reason... there would be more profit in counterfeiting an expensive name brand than a generic inexpensive one.

    Of course I'll agree, a larger volume purchase is best for consistent loads, once you have found the powder that performs best for your application. Then all you need be concerned with is perhaps freezing temperature in winter, and 110% in summer with no shade.
    Large difference in performance for bottleneck cases near max!

    If it wasn't for the challenge, handloading would just be for cheapskates!
    And I am certainly one of them.

    There is NO argument there. We bought some same brand drugs in Mexico once from a "legit" drug store with air conditioning and all that. The drugs obtained were not as potent as "prescribed". Store's fault? Shipper's fault? Or, was it intentional by the manufacturer? An honest mistake? Don't think so. Talking about at least a 50 percent discount, so something had to give. Again, no free lunch. ... felix

    AS was mentioned the Clays part of the labeling is like the Extreme part on the rifle powders. Simply a line of powders in which several different ones fall into.

    And yes it can and has been cornfusing to many.

    I guess I don't get the confusion. In the Clays Line of powders there are three powders:

    1) Clays
    2) International
    3) Universal

    A little less destructive, but some in the anti gun camp, would disagree!
