muskratReloader 10X powder
Has anyone used this powder much? My buddy Russ has been using it in his 22 BR and is getting great groups and good speed to.I have loaded some of it in 22 PPC today to try at the range tomorrow.I started it 10% lower than loads for H322 in 22PPC.
Just wondering if anybody else has tried it????

Muskrat,
I bought a lb. of it a year ago and asked the same question,no response......
I guess there isn't much data for it around yet.

BigIronI'm curious about its use in the .221 Fireball.
Inquiring minds want to know......

muskratWell i will shoot today and post tonight about how it turns out for me.

The only discussion I have seen was on Benchrest.com. The early results were promising, but the powder left a hard carbon ring. After presenting this to Alliant, they slightly reformulated to reduce the deposits (something about adding copper?). It may still be in the archives, there. HTH, Dutch.

muskratI did find out it loads like H-322.You use the data for H-322 and drop it by 10% to start with.
I loaded up some in 22 PPC at 30.5 grains with a 52 grains bullet,it shot okay.i went up a half grain at a time till i hit 31.5 grains.This shot very well in my gun.Going back tomorrow to shoot some more and do more testing.So far no signs of high pressure,bolt lifting okay with no tightness yet and good groups.We had a nice day for this in the mid 70's and very litle humidity.
Please do your own testing! Do not take my data as anything but what it is,something that worked okay for me.
