[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 76877, member: 3086"] Contrary to the writings of a quack, the holy grail of powder burning is a flat pressure curve. The vihtavuori n500 series is advertised to do just that and produce 150 fps higher velocity than conventional propellants. Generally speaking, a flat pressure curve would result in greater throat wear, as max pressure + temp occurs for a longer period. According to the vihtavuori adverts, this factor is mitigated by [ QUOTE ] <font color="purple"> [b]Although these new powders have a higher energy content, they do not cause greater wear to the gun. This is because the surface of the powder has been treated with an agent designed to reduce barrel wear.[/b] </font> [/ QUOTE ] The N500 series powders cost more for 2 lbs than WC872 in 8 lbs jugs. If I could really get an additional 150 fps with no greater wear, it would be a bargain. comments? Any experience? [/QUOTE]
