When I came up there were so many fewer propellant manufacturers, and many fewer products each manufacturer was making. We were able to find good, accurate, loads even so.
Today there are SO many new propellants. I look at the load data for some of them, and I'll be mystified, but the same range of charge weights for the same range of bullets with the same ballpark velocities and I wonder if many of these new introductions aren't just some other number repackaged up and given a new designation and sold to us.
Anybody experienced a new rifle propellant that really did offer something special? I guess RL17 really does offer more velocity per grain...
