Stinky PMC 9mm Ammo!

Kframe · September 13, 2002, 12:51 PM

Does anyone know what powder PMC uses?
I have noticed that in .38 Spl, 9x19 and .45 ACP there is a really unpleasant smell to the smoke.
Maybe it's the powder, maybe it's the primer.

Either way, I'd like to know what it is so I can be sure to avoid buying any for my own reloading.

(I won't even shoot PMC anymore, I dislike it so much. Gunsmoke is supposed to smell good!)

Thanks, -Kframe
