Anyone currently have free hazmat shipping on powder?
Thanks for the reply.Ballistic products, I think.
ljnowell is a bullseye match shooting member who likes No. 2 but during the shortage found Shooters World Clean Shot/Lovex D032-03 to be very close and we listed as comparable powders in the same/comparable powder thread - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-different-labels.797388/page-5#post-10644897Accurate Arms No. 2 and that is what I was looking for.
ljnowell said:When I opened the container it was very much obviously identical in appearance to AA#2. As I use a Lee auto disc I thought I would do some side by side to check out the VMDs. I was curious to see if they were similar.
First stop was the .30cc disc. This disc consistently drops 2.95 grains of AA2. The D032 dropped a perfect 2.95 grains. I tried the .46cc cavity that I use for 9mm. It dropped exactly the same also.
I went to the range with a friend and a chronograph. We ran two sets of ten of each for a total of 40 rounds of 148 grain hbwc in 38 cases with 2.95 grains, 20 with each powder. The results? I got single digit SDs and the funniest part? The first ten the shooters world average velocity was a little higher, by literally about ten fps. The second set of ten? The AA2 was just a touch higher by single digit amount. The end result? I'm convinced they are either the exact same powder or so close the difference is negligible.
