I really want a keg of 4100

[9w1911]

Where are all the Accurate powders?

Also Alliant is vapor.

Why 4100? Is there a special application for it that you're interested in? Why not Enforcer, AA9, H110/W296, etc? I've seen very little data for 4100. Lyman has some for 480 Ruger, but other than that...

AA 4100 is Ramshot Enforcer which are both made in the same plant. There is a lot of data for this powder in the magnum handgun world. It is one of my favorite powders for top end loads in Ruger Only 45 Colt and 454 Casull loads. The nice thing about it is it ignites easier than AA#9 and I have about 10 lbs of it sitting in my reloading room.

44mag

This powder would be perfect for 44 Mag, probably why you are wanting it..........never owned a 44 but for what I'm doing things are close enough.

[9w1911]

Cant have too many magnum powders :)

[9w1911]

but not so much for the lack of 4100, but the over all lack of Accurate powders

Also Alliant is vapor.

My LGS has 2 8 pound jugs of reddot and says, nobody will buy them. I have a 8 pounder already and that's enough to last me awhile.

scarse on 2400 and Blue Dot

as my testing goes 4100, enforcer, aa9 and wc820 and h108 are all the same powder. burning speed might vary between each but no more then burning speed lot to lot between jugs of the same powder do. Ive loaded with all 4 and velocitys rarely vary more the 50fps between any of them using the same load.

Theirs not much powder around now. I scored some AR comp a while back from Powder Valley, to feed the AR this year. I haven't seen pistol powders period for a while.

I haven't used WC820 nor H108 but I have used AA#9 and 4100/Enforcer and can say my testing showed a difference between those two and more than just lot to lot variance. I'm loading primarily Ruger Only 45 Colt and 454 Casull rounds so maybe there is something with the larger caliber.

I thought #9 had more flash to it vs 4100/enforcer. More importantly I noted that Enforcer is slower by quite a bit. Load data on the Accurate site will show the difference I'm experiencing. Noting max loads with magnum revolver loads one can see with the exact bullet, same COAL and nearly identical pressures, Enforcer/4100 uses 1-3 grains more powder and a boost in velocity is the end result.

The load data pretty much has been a mirror to my results except I'm using different boolits of course so have different loads I'm putting together.



For anyone who wants to look at load data here is the link to the current online PDF Accurate powder data:

interesting

A few years ago, about the same time I got a X-frame in S&W 500Mag, I seen a dusty 1lb bottle of AA 4100 on the shelf. I can't recall where I got the data for it in the 500, but I really liked it with heavy boolits in the 500. I burnt up the 1lb long ago, and have been looking for it ever since and not finding it. I asked my LGS, he said he'd check on it. He claimed his distributor can't get it...this was before the sandyhook/obama "run" on the market. So I settled on W296/H110.

[sargenv]

We have an abundance of Vitt N110 at my R&G club which is an expensive version of H110/296.. and the only ppl buying those at the moment are 410 shooters.. We even have in Lil'Gun... and various other flavors of stuff..

[9w1911]

hey Sarge, where are you at? near Reno I would love to get my hands on some VV110

John,
What is the price the LGS is asking for the RD?
My club has been getting more powder with every order and not paying more than $125 for 8# So maybe reality is coming back and things will come back to normalcy?
