Anyone?

Cleanliness, consistency, accuracy, etc.

Thanks.

I have been using this powder extensively in my SBR, an 11.5 inch Bravo Co barrel. Accuracy is excellent, powder is slightly dirty, but to me all powder is dirty! Especially because I use a suppressor more than 1/2 the time.

The best ever group of 5 rounds at 100 yards

And a composite 300 and 400 yard target after zeroing at 300, the black slashed right side impact points. 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets were fired in these two groups.

Velocity is capable of 193 speeds in the same barrel and pressure to velocity is excellent as well. I find it best with 55 grain bullets.

V = 2850 in the 11.5, standard deviations normally run in the low teens, occasionally single digits, but the brass is LC '08 mainly.

Thanks! Is it "dirty" compared to say Lake City ammo or just dirty compared to others that you tried?

I find the Vita Vourhi powders cleaner in general, but this is not a laboratory observation. It is excellent powder for the applications shown above.
