Like the title says, Grafs has a great selection of Vectan powders in stock. Having heard it's great powder, I ordered 4 lbs. I should be good for some time. Looks like things are looking up.

Never seen any load data using Vectan powder or reviews care to share?

Reloading data is on their site: http://www.vectan.fr/UK/reloading-charges

I don't like how they tell you to choose your type of weapon. But what do you expect from France.

Do not like their site and presentation of data at all! Have seen this stuff on the shelves, and left it there. Severe lack of load data.

Lately I have been standardized on ETR7 from Expansion Industries. Very inexpensive! Great in just about any cal. The cleanest powder I have ever used! And it loads very close to TiteGroup.

I agree that their data is basically incomplete, as it doesn't list any kind of OAL (they list the CASE length - as if that varies for a given caliber - really?).

I picked up .5kg of Ba9 a few months back and found that it meters extremely well, but it doesn't quite get me to 125PF with my 124gr PC boolits (they're actually a few grains heavier) if I'm sticking to the data that I was able to find. I keep saying I'll see how the powder performs with some 115gr FMJ bullets I have leftover, but I don't have a whole lot of incentive to do that because now that I'm casting I don't plan on doing anything else going forward. I suppose I'll get bored enough to try someday.

True................I have several boxes (hundreds) of FMJ's in 9/38/40/45 from a "previous pre-casting life" that just sit in the boxes.

Mabe someday.........................??!?!?!??

Graf's also has 8 lb jugs of IMR-4227 for you magnum shooters out there. After 4 years of seeing more UFOs and Unicorns than jugs of 2400 in ANY size... was sight for sore eyes.
