Hi again,
    My last post about the powder ignition problems I observed reminded me why I went to the range to begin with- to test Ramshot Big Game powder in 30-06 and .257.
     In terms of velocity, max charges duplicated or slightly bettered my usual loads using AA4350. Accuracy was also the same in my .257, slightly better in the 30-06. The outstanding thing was the uniformity of velocities. In the 30-06 with 165 gr bullets, the max listed load had an extreme spread of 8 fps and a standard deviation of 3fps. And I fired a 3/8" three shot group with that load too. All groups stayed under an inch in the '06, just over in the .257.
     All in all I was fairly impressed with this powder. Is anyone else using any of the Ramshot powders? Now I'm kind of curious to try others...

5Pins,
     Their website has quite a bit of new data (even had some for my .257! ) that can be downloaded in a zip file. Much more extensive than previously. Plus, I've called them to check on some possible applications not in the data and they were very helpful. They gave me some data not in published list.              IDShooter
