I hear ya. I still use ball powder for fire firming. I'd save the 8133 for loads shot less often rather than fire forming.Dang it! I just finished 2 rifles with IMR8133! I have a couple personal rifles that love it too. Guess my 8# will be relegated to fire forming duty now, or rifles that might see 10-20 rounds a year.
Not really. It just won't apply unless you happen to have some. I've got plenty of loading Manuel's with discontinued powders and bullets in themThis is gonna mess up a lot of load manuals!
So far just the Enduron line of IMR powders only. Those powders specifically are/were made at the General Dynamics plant in Canada.Is this just imr powders or does staball 6.5 fall into this?
Same I have found though that ramshot LRT the same rifles like and I'm getting the same if not a hair better velocities.Dang it! I just finished 2 rifles with IMR8133!

It just sucks it's not temp stable like 8133 is.Same I have found though that ramshot LRT the same rifles like and I'm getting the same if not a hair better velocities.
I agree, it is more stable though than the non-stable reloader powders. I've just shot before a hunt a made a small dope adjustment and haven't had a problem.It just sucks it's not temp stable like 8133 is.
General Dynamics is very large, yes. They own and operate the powder facility in Canada- the one that makes the Enduron powders. It hasn't been that long (of course it could be longer than I think) that they acquired that facility.Newer- https://www.gd-otscanada.com/product/products/
