Probably won’t work for 7mm-08 with a name like that.
They sure aren't marketing it that way, but if useful powders for 6.5 Creed are also useful for 7MM-08, it might prove useful there as well.What about the name makes you say that?
Interested to know how it differs from other powders in their lineup.
Are they making temp unstable powder for all other rounds?
the 6.5 Creedmore is not so new/unique in my mind that it needs its own powder from a physics standpoint. From a sales standpoint, yes, sell all one can.
@Varminterror,
Your above Post #15 is very well written with a good analysis.
Have you shot ball powders before? Temperature stability is an issue.
Personally, I would be happy if powder makers would go back to plain numbers for powder names.
Same... AA5, AA9 or Reloader 15, Reloader 25, etc. are my favorite powder name-chains because you can judge the faster-slower burn rates with them .Amen. I hate all these crazy names...
