    It seems foolish that there isn't handgun data for it yet like other similar powders. Am I right in thinking that it's pretty close to Unique in burning rate? It's too new for it to be on any of the burning rate charts I have here. It would be nice for folks to have the option to try it if/when things get tight again with the more popular powders. Not everyone has experience working "off the edge of the map" with surp powders, and even for those who do, itty bitty handgun cases require an extreme level of caution. The surps I use in my .45's and .38's have properties close enough to commercial canister powders so there is a safe place to start with them. I think Alliant's marketing department dropped the ball on this one. Maybe Sierra has some usable data.

    Actually, I think it's more in the Bullseye range. Definitely much faster than Unique.
