Wingman - Well from reading the other thread, it seems like you like it a lot.

I was looking for a can locally, but not available in my area yet. I don't like paying the hazardous cargo charge on a 1lb can. It only pays off if I buy the 8lb can but was not sure about the new powder yet.

How does it compare to H335 or BLC2?

According to burn rate it's similar to BLC2,I don't have the equipment to give you velocity however since I target shoot only I'm concerned with accuracy and the CFE seems excellent, using a Stag Model 3 chrome bore 1/9 twist normal groups of .750-1.0 @100 yards but with the CFE had a couple groups under 1/2 inch, perhaps just a fluke but will know for sure after a couple pounds, at any rate I do like this powder. Cleaning issue has improved. I want to test more in my Model 12 also but have not had time to work up loads. I purchased my can along with other powder from Powder valley could not find it local, wish I had added a couple more cans to order.
