[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 659474, member: 23486"] As most other have stated, my best experience with ball powder is with Ramshot Magnum (I love this stuff). I use it (as do many) in my fast twist 6mm-284 w/107 SMK's. This powder provided top velocity, accuracy in the .3's & doesn't seem to care if its 35deg or 85deg outside. I haven't worked extensively with it at low temp, but preliminary findings are encouraging. The first 3 shots I fired for accuracy with this powder @500 yds went into just under 2", with two of the dimples touching. Fluke? I don't care:D That tells me that, if i'm capable, the powder will do it's job. I have no idea if it is harder on the throat of my bore or not.. it makes no difference to me:D. Everything comes at a price, everything. I would like to experiment with this powder some more.... maybe my 6.5WSM will like it too?:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
