![]() ![]() 20% NG – and the geometry of a typical extruded single perforated rifle powder. ![]() It can best be described as a fast burning Rifle or slow burning Magnum handgun double base “hybrid” powder, having the typical chemical composition of handgun powders i.e. What makes Accurate 5744 such a special and unique product? components primer, case, bullet and the velocity are equal, and preferably done at the same time on the same day. It is also very important that when a comparison is made, that all conditions re weapon i.e. If any of these parameters/aspects go beyond or outside the intended ratio/s, the results will change and the performance will sometimes be different. A particular powder can be improved re temperature stability for certain combinations, within a certain envelope which is specific to the following three main parameters/aspects.Although powders can be improved, it’s really only possible with advanced coating procedures and additives which increase the cost.The term is used loosely by manufacturers without qualifying the subject, and is obviously exploited for marketing purposes and perceptions. This is a subject that often fraught with misconceptions and inaccuracies. Our standard powders perform very well at extreme temperatures, and usually pass the strict military requirements by a large margin. Therefore most shooters do not notice much difference under normal practical hunting conditions.Ĭomplete temperature stability can only be achieved with tubular extruded powders designs, either with double base (NG) and/or with other coating technologies.īecause the ballistic performance at extreme temperature is completely dependant on the specific combination, it is very difficult to quantify and qualify. However, we test at -40F and +125F and the deviation in most cases are ca 3% to 5% at these extreme levels. Most of our powders are not insensitive, and will show some effect at hot and cold temperatures. The powder flows better resulting in “VMD” bushing data will also be different, see the data for the MEC® bushings below We are constantly busy compiling load data which will be available as time progress. However, in the larger volume “straight case” designs, such as Federal® and Fiocchi® it will be possible to achieve 1200 Fps, with pressures in the 11000Psi range, in combination with the proper wads. The best performance with the smaller volume taper cases such as WAA® and Remington STS® will be 1150 fps with Pressures of between 11000 Psi to 11500 Psi. In a 12gauge the loads for the light ? oz and 1oz will very much the same or be slightly higher than the old style N100.įor heavier 1?oz loads the N100 NF will not be as flexible and versatile as the old N100. Since our first priority was for 12ga shotgun application, the new powder is a more optimized powder for light shot loads. It’s still a double base powder but it’s a flattened spherical (ball) powder instead of the original extruded flake design. It’s now made in the USA by General Dynamics®. We thus do not source our Nitro 100 for the EU (Czech Rep) anymore. This was due to factors outside our control. We unfortunately had to change the manufacturer for Nitro 100 early in 2009. ![]()
