Would like your thoughts and any load data for TG that you may have.

Hello Jim
I have used about Five Pounds of Tight Group in the past Five years. It is super clean and very accurate, but I must Caution you on your dispensing of it. Be certain your Powder drop or method of dispensing it is very close in Measurement. This Powder is a wonderful powder, but as you soon will see it takes very Little in any load it is used in, but can Build pressure quickly if over dispensed. I would Not suggest Hot Roding it, as I have seen some Guns come apart from Dare Devil re-loaders going above and beyond the recommended dispersing of the powder. It is a very cheap powder to use as it does not take much to load right but too much will take a gun apart in a heart beat. I have not had any issues with it, but have seen guns Blown apart from it over careless dispensing of the powder. I always check the Powder dump, against my digital scale reading ever third round and do a good visual before seating any bullets on top of it. I hope this helps, Hammerdown
