@20VarTarg

I've used CFE Blackout and 40 V-Max for 2-3 seasons of PD shooting with 20 VT.

18.0g yields 3400 with no signs of high pressure even at 90-100 degrees on the prairie.

Very accurate powder bullet combo in my rifle.... OCW target with loads in my album.

Only issue has been the very fine ball powder clings to the drop tube of the Dillon. I was shocked to recently find the tube ID coated with hardened powder. I had to use a bore brush to remove it. This was after loading only 4 pounds of powder or about 1500 rounds.

I'm going to polish the tube ID and ground the tube housing to try to eliminate the problem.
