Has anyone seen any of this for sale yet? I saw it advertised in "Guns" magazine. Some of the Data looks promising:

I think I might have to try it in my 7 Ultra. I like the idea of a 160gr Partition at 3200fps and maybe more since they listed their test barrel at 24". It also might be worth a try in some of the other Ultra's or maybe 338 Lapua.......DJ


....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!..................

Looks like it does best in the 50 BMG

From the data, it appears to be just a tad faster than the lots of WC-860 and WC-872 that I have worked with. I wouldn't be surprised if it is some of the same "spec" powder. Looks like a very useful powder for .264 Winchester and .257 STW, also.

Powder Valley will have some 869 within the next week or so. If you ever used the old surplus Hodgdon H870 this stuff is very similar.
