Thread: The powder that you couldn't be without

2213 SC

I use N560 and 2209, considering I have just bought 4kg of 2208 and 2209 , I'm guessing the N560, will take a holiday.

Yes a lovely mix of coke and nitro.

I must say 2208 and 2209 cover a lot of ground. Probably 2209 if I had to choose between the 2.

I tried using 2208 briefly in a lee perfect powder measure, and found due to the size of the stick powder that it metered like a dog. Is 2209 any better?

Yeah my lee meter hated it, used to break grains, 2209 not so much. I use an Lyman Auto Powder Dispenser now so no problem.

Huh, haven't had a problem with 2208 in my Lee measure. I dont use it a lot, usually use the Lyman scales as loading small numbers. I loaded some 223 recently using the measure, checked most of the charges and all well within 0.1gr of what they were supposed to be.

After this morning I like BM2 even more, 250gn .375 Sierra projectile @ 2704 fps average Extreme spread of 6fps from the chrony'ed shots all from a 16 inch barrel.

It's good in the 223 as well, 3070 fps with the 55 gr Hornady out of a 20 inch barrel.

For the calibers I load for 2209 suits best with 2208 being second choice.
Win-760 would suit as well be not as temp stable so 2209 is it.

ADI 2206H I reload .223 and .308 with it
