Anyone using it? Experiences? Recommendations? Search efforts turn up one thread in 2013
Data is out there from Accurate, but little real world experiences posted. I am going to start with 40 - 50gr Nosler BTs and 52gr SMKs/Nos CC. 223 pressure level LC cases and Rem 71/2 or Wolf primers. CZ 527 and a couple of WOA uppers (1//7 and 1/8) |

I just killed an 8 lb jug of it the other day, all in 556.
Likes: Meters very well. (+-.1 grain) Was available when other powders weren't Is a low powder charge per round (22-22.5g was my go to charge for blasting ammo in 55g fmj) dislikes: Cost a lot more than other powders could not get stellar results in any bullet I tried. 1" was about the best I could get even using good bullets. (maybe it was me. maybe the weapon, maybe the powder. I was able to get consistent .75" groups with varget) Lack of data online from other people using it. Overall, I would continue to use it if it was economical. But, as it sits, I am in the market for a new powder. Never did try the really light bullets but I have a 1/7 twist rifle. |

Thanks guys,
I figured cost was an issue with its popularity. Vinny, can you repost that picture or just tell me what I could have seen. Its not working for me and the site seems to have issues on my end as well. Boman, I remember you getting some. How did the accuracy you got with LT-32 compare with other powders and similar bullets weights in that gun. What gun was it and how did it usually shoot? |

69g smk were 1" at 100 yards. out of my PSA 16" 1/7 twist AR.
Couldn't get any better. Varget got them down to .75" That was the most scientific I tried. Other bullets were tested but never found a good load. I had created a 60g vmax load but ran out of powder before i had a chance to test them. So I dissembled them and reused the powder for blasting ammo. 55g FMJBT were fairly inconsistent. Groups ranging from 1" to 2.5". But varget and CFE223 couldn't do any better. Just not very good bullets. |
