Yep that's a big difference in price. Have used N133 for 45-70 but never tried N130, yet. At around 50 grains per shot that's about 140 cartridges, loaded per pound of powder. At $65 bucks a pound, that works out to about a dime more per shot, than the $40 bucks a pound stuff. The accuracy of Reloader 7, seems worth that bit more money but, quite a few powders do well in a 45-70 case.I really wanted to try RL7 but prices on Alliant powders are completely jacked. 5 lbs of RL7 for same price as 8 lbs of N130? Easy decision.
Found a few Alliant powders at my lgs, but were priced $65-75 per pound. Insanity!I really wanted to try RL7 but prices on Alliant powders are completely jacked. 5 lbs of RL7 for same price as 8 lbs of N130? Easy decision.
