[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 378172, member: 2011"] This is some great stuff. Gel propellant is a new concept in propellant and it's great to see a 'major' company behind it. Simple to use. Just put the case on the scale and squirt some in. Under charge then fine tune with an eye dropper. Burn rate on the one I tested is about like H-1000/Retumbo. It doesn't seem to affect the primer either. ES and SD are smaller than I have ever experience. The real kicker is that the final step in its process is to insert the little plastic tube (about like the tube that comes with WD-40) down through the gel to the flash hole. When the "tube" is removed there is a hole from the flash hole to the top of the 'gel'. This does two things. 1. prevents "bridging" effect 2. Provides Forward Ignition. It appears that all of the propellant burns in the case. (Cases are hot as w/an AR) Burning appears to be progressive giving a unique 'recoil' sensation. (As in a longer push). This stuff in gonna be what we have been looking for. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Guess what day it is...:D:D:D:cool: Len/Dick - trash this if you wish.....Just couldn't help myself.... [/QUOTE]
