The tide must be coming in. New powders, the best thing since siliced bread, totally revolutionary, blah, blah, blah.
I like short cut extruded powders. Ball powders are hard to ignite, not as flexible as extruded, and even though they throw better, I don't see any improvements on target.
Now if I got more velocity with less pressure, that would be great. I would jump for joy if the stuff cost less per pound, like 20 to 50% less, than what I am currently using.
But that is not going to happen.
The tide will go out and what will be left is the flotsam of copy from gun magazines.
