Hi Kevin, It makes a big difference when you have traveled the road before. I know it is Kevin because WOW Isn't good enough to prevent you from experimenting until you find all the things that don't work. Ben

Save yourself the aggravation and go to any of the other recommended powders ie. 4759, 4198, and VV 110 (if you can get it) depending on what bullets you choose to shoot with it. |
