    I do have a few hundreds CCI #400 though, maybe I'll get just a pound of H335 and experiment a little, get some chrono data worked up.

    H335 is good powder, but for me... it was much easier and more economical to replace h335 that it was to replace my WOLF SRMs.

    H335 just doesn't do anything THAT great to make me switch primers... and it's flashy as hell.

    If you have not already bought the primers, it is probably cheaper to buy non WOLF primers and then by WC844 powder at $85 per 8lb keg instead of paying 120 or much more for 8lbs of TAC. WC844 is non canister grade H335 surplus pulldown powder. Works fine for me.

    Good to know about the flash

    I already have 16#'s of TAC and 5K of WOLF SRM's on hand to last me throught the rest of the year but will keep WC844 in mind for when I restock back up. Thanks for the 411.

    Are your Wolf SRM the recent lots? I have 2007 lots of Wolf SRM and they work fine. Just recent lots have the problems.

    I'm not close to my bench to check right now.... but I think when I checked they were manfactured 2nd quarter of this year. I'll confirm and update when I get home.

    3 or 4 buddies and I got in a on a group buy from PV and we all got them. So far no one has reported issues, but then again I think we are all loading TAC and Horandy FMJBT's. I'm almost through my second brick.

    I think my 09s were no go with H335. I still have 200 of the 07s I saved when I realized they changed the formula.

    I think I ran the 07s with success behind H335.

    Probably SOL on those with H335 type powders.

    But they do run TAC pretty good in my experience.

    Question

    I think I overheard somebody say that Remmy 7.5 primers were just as slam-fire hard as the CCI military ones ... can any one confirm this?
