While I wait for some Vitavhouri N120 to appear, I've thought about trying some AA 2015. I shoot mainly 300 gr bullets and am currently using AA 5744. I'm happy with the way 5744 shoots Barnes Originals, but not so happy with other bullets.
I have a new bag of Remington .457 300 gr bullets, MMP Orange and black Harvester CRS sabots. Would anybody care to share their experiences with AA 2015. I also have a bunch of 250 and 300 gr Barnes MZ bullets in the packaged sabots, and a bunch of 300 gr Hornady XTPs and MMP black sabots.

Save the 2015 until you get a .45 or .40 Pac-Nor. It is too slow in the .50 and you could have ignition problems also. Stick with the 5744, 4759, N-110, N-120, H-4198 is a real good one and should be readily available at most gun shops, Re-7 is also good. Don't think that N-120 is going to be some miracle powder. Many do get good results with it but just as many swear by H-4198. You have to buy a few of these powders and experiment with your rifle to see which one works the best for you? Its all part of the fun and learning curve! Good luck Richard ( I even tried to duplex with N-110 in the .50 and it still S _ _ _ ed!)  |

Richard ( I even tried to duplex with N-110 in the .50 and it still S _ _ _ ed!) Though I agree with Richard with his feelings about 2015 when used as a single in 50 caliber I'd have to differ somewhat when it comes to duplex use. 2015 was the original duplex powder and it's excellent even to this day. I think but it's only an opinion, that 2015 is superior to H322 in a 50 caliber duplex load. However I'll hedge that by saying H322, 2015, 10X, and N130 are all very close and if you experimented with them all your choice might be any of the group over the others. |

I shot my first ML deer with 70gr. 2015 in a .50 with a 300 gr. Remington and BCR. But that's because it was all I had. I'd listen to the first posts and find something better. I never had a misfire even at 6 degrees but I was probably lucky, FPS wasn't the greatest either.

Warren You weren't luck. 2015 has some temperature problems IF (big if) the load is very low pressure. Low pressures are likely encountered in 50 caliber so sensitivity problems have been observed, however 2015 is easy to ignite. So even though it may lose speed at very low pressures with temperature it is still reliable on ignition. If 2015 is used at a reasonable pressure (say 38,000psi and above) it is temperature stable as any other powder. |

In the .45, sabot-less, I've found A2015 to be superior to H-322 when duplexing with SR4759. BTW, I've never had a single misfire; as RB says, it's easy to ignite.
