This is now one of the most accurate powders I have used in the .44 magnum. It shot as well as 2400 for me. No unburned powder flying out, nice small groups, lots of flash and boom. At least in MY gun, this stuff needs Magnum primers.

Just FYI Federal says their primers burn hotter and longer than other brands of primers. Also that while other companies use regular explosive compounds they use a high explosive compound and this is why they have to package them differently than other companies. Ever notice the massive plastic packaging? They say that is why that huge plastic tray is needed. So it makes sense that alliant would recommend a the hotter Federal primer for this slow burning Magnum powder.
