Is US-869 noticeably slower than AR2218?

Do you find charge weights, pressure signs, and velocities to be similar or different between these two powders?

I just emailed 'Southern Ballistic Research' and asked them if 'SBR Socom' powder will ever be made available again. So many powders and primers have become unobtanium these days.

How was 11FS?

SBR Socom powder is a product of 'Southern Ballistic Research' in Georga, and is offered both by them and by Shooters World. To my knowledge, it's the only Shooters World powder that isn't made by Lovex.

Thanks for asking him!

Have any of you loaded 165-170 grain jacketed bullets in the 350 Legend using 'SBR Socom' powder, and if so, what results did you get from this combination?

I've often heard it said that N568 requires somewhat heavier charge weights than for N570, but GRT always tells me the opposite. Is there a means to correct the N568 parameters within GRT?

Ranking powders via multiplying their KJoules/Kg total energy by their Ba factor may prove more practical than ranking them via their Ba factor alone.

N160 = 3,650

The KiloJoules of Energy contained within each Kilogram of powder. It has nothing to do with burn rate or charge weights.

Also REL 33

Shooters World 'SBR Socom' is another to consider.

Thank you! Hopefully it will also run natively within Linux.

Is there a means to introduce powders into GRT? Is it as simple as adding a file? There are a few I'd like to add, including US 869, and the powders which have hit the market post the time when GRT ceased being maintained and upgraded. Has anyone compiled files with the requisite data for...
