I would prefer to find some Alliant 2400 for loading 357 mag and 45 colt, but it appears to be unobtainium.

Ramshot Enforcer looks like it may be similar to 2400, and I'm considering a purchase.

Do you guys have any opinions, experiences, or favorite loads you can share with me?

Ramshot Enforcer data seems to be very close to H110 in charge and velocity numbers, as I see it anyway.

I have used it in 357, 44, 45 Colt with good success.  Accuracy has been good to excellent.  ES and SD aren’t as good as 2400.  

Most loads are best at the top end like H110.

I load .44 mag and 45lc with it and I’ve had stellar results.

With gas checked 265 hardcast and 24g Enforcer I had a average velocity of 1308fps in a 3in barreled 45lc Vaquaro.  It’s a hot load but still not max by the book.  Pretty amazing for such a short barrel.
It’s very unpleasant on the hand and wrist.

I see a lot of it around here.  Might need to try some if I run low of my beloved 2400.  I never quite warmed up to H110 like some others seem to have.

I have some but have not had a chance to fully test it yet. I have only shot it twice so far (was testing it against some other powders).
It did not stand out as either noticeably bad or good. Seemed about equal to similar powders.
I would have no problem using it if there was nothing else available.
I still have several more loads to test out before I can make my final decision on it.

I'm happy with it so far.16gr under 147gr hst gives me 1250fps and as good as I can shoot accuracy.

14gr undera 158gr swc is a nice comfy 1150fps and can easily go up.

Is shot some today in some .44 I loaded up awhile back with 240xtps  
Clean shooting and accurate in my 16in 1894.      I was just plinking at steel in the backyard but I’ll have to chrono some loads.
