    Cheers for that. Was an interesting read.

    Good old 2209 slowest in my rifle but the most consistent.😆

    Wonder how BM 8208 would fare in the test.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    It is worth a read but basically if you use 2208 or 2209 you are all good for a temp stable powder, especially in NZ conditions.😆
