I fired one round in a 260 small magnum primer, and there was a half second delay.

It is like BL-C(2), but even harder to light.

Man Ct, I pulled up and printed out all of the data off Hodgen's site, but I don't know what I've  done with it.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Was thinking of trying this stuff out with some AR rounds I got prepped.

couple of buddies have tried it in their AR's general thought was it wasn't quite as consistent as varget. Though I haven't had the chance to get out and try it for myself yet.

Bolt gun loves the V, but the AR, a Bravo Co. middy, prefers IMR 4895. 

This new wonder powder had me at "cleaner".

My Spikes tactical / Model 1 AR loves V just fine...
