Power Pistol rocks. It's flashy, so it wouldn't make good night time defense rounds. (Relative to my above post: When I make "defense round" recipes, I really just mean full-power rounds. For legal reasons here in Kalifornia, I always load my defense guns with factory ammo.)

Power Pistol is highly energetic and is capable of making some very high velocity rounds. It also seems to operate well under a broad range of load weights. It's an impressive propellant.

That said, it can also bite. I approach loading hot recipes with particular caution when using it. It's not known for having a linear pressure curve; and thus, can pressure spike with little warning. Working up high pressure rounds with it requires a patient approach, diligence, and a keen eye; and little experience is helpful too.

I wish I had a whole jug of it. It makes fun range days.
