Probably the most problematic issue was metering. It was very sticky in my RCBS Uniflow measure. The powder has a very clumpy consistency. Hoping for better luck with 45 ACP.
That is interesting as I have only an inexpensive Lee powder drop but was considering the RCBS. The Lee does a fine job on several powders, apparently a better measure isn't always the answer to a powder that doesn't meter well

I also have interest in obtaining a model 52, I will stick to other powders after I use up the IMR Target, I like how it shoots, I'll have to find middle ground on a charge weight and use it in my 625 45acp revolver.
