Yikes... I did get warned not to use that particular powder a while back, the advice was something shotgun, trailboss or red dot. None of which seems to be readily available. Shame, as the 151gr lead cast bullets are very effective at putting animals to sleep at close range and no fuss or noise or any other negatives.
