How about 6.4 grains of Salut' over the NOE-225-55 cast bullet, 2.2055 OAL? Found the "Sweet Spot".

94794

I spoke to a good friend who "field tested" these for me. Here's the good with the bad. The bad is, they won't cycle the action in an AR platform. The good news? Great news, actually, these shot into under 1 1/2" with open sights [A2] at 100 yards, chronographed velocity for all 10 rounds was 1400'; standard deviation was less than 10 fps for all ten rounds. He thought maybe something was stuck with his chrono; he said, "this is unheard of!" Throw a load together and it just happens to exactly what the doctor ordered. Now, question, "will it shoot as well in my T/C?" At least, I have a great mild load that will shoot in an AR, possibly in a bolt gun and my T/C. BTW, these weigh 62 grains cast with water dropped wheel weights 10/1 mix of ww/lino; gas checked, and 45/45/10 lube. Just food for thought. Swede, you did it again!

WayneS,

davidheart is correct. Its basically a Russian version of Unique. I bought this powder about 5 years ago. It sat on a shelf for about 4 years because very few had heard of this powder, much less had any experience with it. Great stuff, wish I had a keg.
