Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for shotshell use, so it is not a general-purpose powder for other reloading applications.
- The description emphasizes target and field use, but it is specifically called out for handicap trap loads and 20 and 28 gauge target loads rather than every gauge or load type.
- Claims of cleaner-burning and less felt recoil are product descriptions, not guarantees; actual results depend on the load and setup used.
- Packaged as a 4 lb container, which may be more than some reloaders need for occasional use.
