[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3365539, member: 5316"] It is an Alliant product. It seems to be very similar to Titegroup and N320 in density and burn rate. I’ve been watching threads discussing it for a couple of years from guys shooting production 9mm with it. It was designed for coated bullets to prevent it from attacking the coating in the base of the bullet. All of my testing has been with 124g jacketed HP and 125g hi-tek coated bullets. It smokes less than Titegroup woth the jacketed. And it smokes a LOT less than TG with the coated bullets. My standard load is 4.1 TG with the JHP. I had to bring the SP load to 4.3 to get the exact same velocity. SD was near very low 5.1 or 5.6. (I’d have to look at the notes) , so it meters very well. It’s as clean as TG at the higher velocities based on two clean guns with 34rds each. It also runs much cooler than tight group. I had some issues with the gun getting pretty hot in some of the match’s. I was shooting 3 divisions with it back to back. 12 strings of 6-8 rounds each in less than 10 minutes. About half way through my support hand thumb was complaining. Not at all with the Sport Pistol. I’m not sure how it will compare in some of my other loads, but it won my heart on my mid-weight 9mm load. Today I went and practiced a bit with it and did an impromptu accuracy test. This is 10 rounds on 6” steel at 25 yards standing unsupported. I need to bag it or setup the ransom rest. Not bad for a stock Glock barrel. Seems to shoot well out of my M&P and Wilson also.
