Alliant Power Pro Powder

farmall · November 6, 2009, 01:14 PM

Anyone heard anything about this? I'm curious as to if it has any application in the .204 Ruger? I'm thinking their "Power Pro Varmint" might be just the ticket for reaching factory ammo velocities. Anxious to try and see if it does what it claims.

Why do you want Fatory ammo Velocities ??

I usually can only approach within 250-300 fps of the Hornady 40gn V-max load, and would like to go faster! Hornady will tell you they use a proprietary powder to reach these velocities at a safe pressure.

I'm perfectly satisfied with my performance using TAC powder, but, aren't we all supposed to be striving for constant improvement?

If nothing else, I'd just like to experiment with some, and see if the folks at Alliant might have a worthwhile improvement here.

OK gotcha ,I load mine with RL-15 25.3 grns ,I have never chronoed mine ,but I have killed things out far with it ,I have been using the 45 GRn Hornady`s in my Ruger M77 Bull barreled Varminator ,I have even taken a Pronhorn with it out at 470 Yds

You should try the 45grners ya might like them JMHO

All I use mine for is prairie dogs, and the BC isn't as good on the 45's. I have almost a full gallon coffee can of the 45's though. Might have to load some up again!
