Thanks for the update Clark. Been looking for some indicator of how effective these new powders are.

My shpeal:
1) Slow rifle powder
a) IMR-4451 has temp coating and anti Copper coating
b) H4350 has temp coating.
They are both the same speed, use interchangeably for Quickload predictions to match the chronograph.

2) Fast rifle powder
a) IMR-4166 has temp coating and anti Copper coating
b) IMR-4895 has nothing
They are both the same speed, use interchangeably for Quickload predictions to match the chronograph.

3) Faster rifle powder
H4895 has temp coating

Not hearing any negatives, sticking with them?

I shot 3 deer with 4166 last week.
One at 629 yards.
The wife is feeding venison to all my descendants tomorrow.
I have a position in AMZN.
Things are good.

Negatives?
My hair looks like Bernie Sanders.
