Well I guess I just have to respond one more time. First of all I didn't try to make you look like a liar. I just said I couldn't find your name. Your initial is listed in your profile as K. I did find a J. Could that be you? If so, congratulations on good shooting. I too, like Pete have tried a lot of powders other than 133. Most of all because 133 is hard for me to get. I don't buy 40-60 lbs of powder at a time. But...I have not found any powder to agg with 133. As for BMark, I am getting 3300+/- with 30.0 grains. It takes about 28.8 of 133 to get the same velocity in my guns. I have also found an accurate load of 133 down around 27.0 at a bit less than 3100. But I too like a tad more velocity. Not sure why, guess it comes from my varmint shooing days. Kind of funny how the 30ppc and 30BR seem to like about 2970 fps. I wonder if our 6mm bullets get blown around more at a more sedate speed. Probably be easier on brass and barrels. And yes I do shoot group and a bit of score. However you probably won't find my name listed in any shooting reports because I am a midpack at best shooter and only shoot at two different ranges. Just don't like driving that much. You and Pete have a good day now.

If I misunderstood your intent, then I apologize. Sometimes it's hard to understand what's trying to be said in type when 80% of communication is visual.
Yes, "j" would be me. The "k" is a first name but I've always gone by my middle name. And thank you for your kind words.
I too tried to "re-invent" the wheel by trying lots of powders in the ppc because I didn't like N133. I had to buy it by the 2 lb bottle, it costs quite a bit more than "domestic" powders, it was dirtier than H322, and the biggest problem was everybody else was using it. But gosh darn it, when I did try some and began to work with it, it was far and away the best choice in the long haul. I decided it was better to just "join the crowd" and be competitive rather than "be different" and lose with something else.
But I did keep the first barrel I ever burned out with H322 just as a crusty momento! Now I use it to shoot 220 russians down it for fireforming.
