    no it means they used a blend of powders for the caliber and projectile.

    superformance powder they sell is optimized for more over bore cartridges. could still be worth a try but i haven't.

    Has anyone else chrono these? They shot @ 1.5" grouping at 240yards today out of my Sako 308. Only had three left so inconclusive.

    Danny, if you need a chrony I have one here you can use. Could arrange a sortie to the Tok shooting complex which is only two minutes from my place.

    I read in one of the mags that they chrony pretty close to what was stated on the pack (3000fps) Out of a Rem 700 24inch barrel they were going 2986 average. Im prob going to go to the 150sst with my Rem 308 after I use my Rem corelolts up as they group slightly better
