[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2955019, member: 8394"] I'd throw superformance in with the list. Admittedly retumbo works great in my rum. They are touted as miracle powders, and to some extent they are. But often in such a narrow band width that it takes stars aligning for it to live up to the hype. We tried a 300 wsm superformance load and tested 4 bullet weights. On on very specific weight it shot good and got us the pixie powder fps gains. But did very poorly on both performance and accuracy for the other weights. This was duplicated across 4 other cartridges and many bullet weights. Out of about 4 lbds of powder we found precisely 2 loads in 2 cartridges worth replicating. Never struck out that much with something like 4350. Amen to this, my brother bought me one a few years back. We promptly stuffed in to every rifle I'm the safe... at one point he exclaimed "yup that's rifling" with a bit of a smirk. Hasn't darkened the bore of a rifle since... however it has been shoved in almost every piece of broken machinery you can imagine to confirm that I am able to kill everything from Detroit diesels to Parker hydraulic pumps...
