The powder was imported not a huge surprise as the quality of the products they made here was horrid.

Can't get it to work in 7.5 x 54 MAS, but that's a fussy bugger at the best of times. Which is good for me as a have 2 full bottles of 760 left and nothing else gives the same accuracy with 87 grain projectiles in my .25-06.

Apparently their Power Pro 300-MP is good in the 22 K-Hornet, my fav, so I will be getting some, also their PP 2000-MR works in the 243 and 308 and PP Varmint in the 243. These are the only ones I have looked at coz they suit my rifles
