[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 123553, member: 14"] Brian, 2211 isn't available here anymore either, but I have 1 and a bit 15kg drums left. Its similar in burning rate to 2218, slower if anything. It works great in the 7mm/404 and 7mm RUM giving 100% loading density, good velocity and superb temperature insensitivity. Have you tried the Vihtavuori slow powders, 24N41 and 20N29? The latter is extremely slow and gives awesome velocities, but I found powder fowling a real issue with it. The velocity and pressure just kept climbing as you fired more shots of the same load. You needed to clean after each group, which may not be an issue for a longrange big game hunter, but no good for varminting or competition. Greg [/QUOTE]
