Just thinking, get some surplus stuff out there while I can.

Really need the Russki Unique, some WC820, and maybe some of the 297.

Too bad one company does not stock it all so I could avoid Haz Mat rip-off.

It seems to be the perfect thing for those slightly heavier for caliber boolits, or the cases just bigger for caliber than the Mag variety.

Uses, 357 Mag, Max, Herrett, 44 Mag, other 30 Herrett, the TCUs, several rifles from 222 to 45-70.

May be just the thing in the Max as the WC820 gets to acting "funny" in the Max using upper (accurate) loadings during Hot weather. Just slow enough to overcome that tendency or possibly just the opposite with a worse temperature induced "spike".

Ive been shooting it out of my FA 454 and have been having excellent luck. Its a tad slower then 110/296. Works best with a cci 350 primer just like 110

I'm thinking this might be a really good powder for .30 Herrett. Anybody got anymore information?

Because .454 brass uses CCI 400 or 450 primers, a CCI 350 is large pistol magnum[smilie=1:
