Overview
Built for shooters loading select high-performance handgun and smaller rifle cartridges, this powder is positioned for applications where a very fast-burning spherical propellant is appropriate. It is listed for use with large-capacity handgun rounds such as the 454 Casull, 460 S&W, and 500 S&W, and it also suits cartridges like the 22 Hornet and 7.62 x 39. The 8 lb package is a practical option for those who want a larger supply on hand, though buyers should note the hazmat restrictions and verify legality in their area before purchase.
