Marshall Stanton, your comments (regarding No. 9) to my previous post sound interesting. They have me thinking about some other things.
1. How does it compare to 2400 since I see them listed side-by-side in all of the burning rate charts?
2. Does it ignite easier than 2400? Is it more consistant? Will the WLP (for Std and Mag loads) work OK with it or do I need a CCI 350?
3. Can it be downloaded at all or is it like H-110/296? Will I be able to cover the 1050 to 1300 fps range with it?
4. Accurate's website doesn't list any No. 9 data for the 45 Colt, so what would you suggest as a starting and maximum load for my 265 SWC GC (I know I will have to work up carefully)?
5. I know that a lot of folks shoot the 300+ grainers nowadays, but I don't think I really need their extra penetration and recoil. I think the local whitetails here would find a 265 gr. at 1200 tough enough to deal with. Do you think I am wrong?
6. Finally, I have always tried to keep a minimum number of powders on my bench to keep things simple. Would No. 9 be a versatile addition to the powders I use already (namely Titegroup and Universal Clays)? I currently load 38/357, 45 Auto, and 45 Colt.
Thanks for responding!
