i am loading on a dillon 550. does this powder have any problems metering?

i have been told to avoid it due to how fine it is. is this true?

i would like to try it for light .38super loads at about 135 power factor.

thanks.

I ReLoad on a Dillon SDB which I think has the same basic powder dispenser. I have used Tightgroup in my SDB with no metering problems.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND a 'slower' powder in 38 Super (yes, even for low-PF loads), like Universal Clays, AA5, etc...
