[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 82859, member: 10"] Sniper2, I have used alot of 8700 in my Allen Magnums, especially before I started using WC872. Most lots I have used have been slightly faster burning then H-870. Generally I reached same velocity with one or two grains less powder. This is in a 100-110 gr powder capacity round so its pretty **** close, within 1 or 2 percent of H-870. I did however run into one lot that was Dramatically faster burning. Roughly the same as Retumbo. IT was a real joy to start this lot of powder after using the slower stuff. I always drop four to five grains off my load with a new lot of powder. Still I opened a couple primer pockets before I figured things out. This was the reason for the change to WC872. 8700 is still a good powder, a bit temp sensitive but so is 872 and 870. I suspect the fast lot I got in was not stored properly which resulted in the faster burn rate. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
