[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3884351, member: 5412"] What new Enviromental regulations are out there for powder? I didn't know that was an issue? I know the libs are trying to eliminate lead in the field which is debatable why, but the new copper rounds perform better than lead IMHO. More expensive but better performance. I'm just talking off the cuff here and not disagreeing with anyone's opinion, but I "suspect" the powder companies are trying to get away from having three dozen powders that might work on three or four calibers, moving toward a more universal powder that would encompass many calibers. There are a few out there that meet that qualification. Unique is almost a universal pistol and shotgun powder for medium power loads. Different powders needed for different loads though. IMR-4350 is in huge demand for mid-sized center fire rifle calibers. There is a lot of work going on with some duplex powders that are progressive in pressure for wildcat loads and so on. Not for the amateur to try. I feel it's an economic decision vs an environmental issue, but I've been wrong before and may be again I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
