Five New IMR Pistol Powders Introduced !!!

[Scarlett Pistol]

Last night after I read this I was thinking along these same lines as you guys.
1) so this is funny,  but now there's just more possible confusion, especially if they aren't exactly the same.
2) if they are exactly the same what a waste of freaking time! Unless they are way cheaper, or cleaner, or something else, then all they've done is create duplication rather than bringing improvement or diversity to the market.

Oh well, it was at least worth it to hear the funny commentary from the peanut gallery here.

Does 'something else'=available?

Ha, good point... Yes sir, it sure does! Ambiguity allows such sneaky tricks.

So now that I've looked, it would seem Hodgdon is still a little irritated with Alliant for "Clay" Dot. 

IMR Target = Bullseye
IMR Red = Red Dot
IMR Green = Green Dot
IMR Unequal = Unique
IMR Blue = Blue Dot

Too funny. 

Yup!  That figures! 

What do we want?!  Load data!    When do we want it?! Now!

Probably matches the above with slight changes to look original.

Probably sort of like Chevy and GMC PU trucks.  What's the difference?  Outside they don't look the same.  Inside the engines and transmissions are the same.

But, there are folks out there who like Chevy and others who like GMC and they'll argue about which one is better.

The powder companies are having a hard time producing quantities of their old line, without trying to produce new ones.

I quickly scanned or very quickly read through 26 posts on the Subject line.  I laughed at some posts but that I good for my (mental) health.  One thought running in my background of my mind was, "What "Pistol" powders?".  Most sounded to me like some shotgun powders.  I know the real Clays and International Clays, RD, GD, Unique.  I saw a reference to PB powder--sold what I had indirectly because somebody (a shot gunner needed it more than I need).  I can't get Solo 1000 in 25 pound containers (or  1 pound) anymore.  American Select was hard to find.  I used to use Winchester 540 and rarely used 571 before I had to use steel shot for ducks.  When I talked with Ron Rieber (Hodgdon) at Sporting Clays 2016 Nationals this fall, I did not ask about powder secrets.  I asked me about his 28 gauge fun that he is having.  I do not ask Chris Hodgdon technical questions for a reason.  I own different brands of powder, oh by the way. 
The original Subject line caught my interest.  I use powders for more than pistol.  I like the posts and enjoyed laughing.  It needed to laugh--partially because I can't visit the range or multiple clubs this week.

I see PV and Recob's Target Shop has the Red, Green, Target, and Unequal for $17.93 /lb !!

Still not a lot of information on this powder but 1, 4, and 8 lb cans are showing up.

 


Correction: Some of the new powders come in 14oz cans, not 16oz. Must be fluffy stuff.

IMR Target looks like it's going to be a nifty 9mm minor powder.   Looking at Hodgdon's data, it's appears to sometimes be a little faster than Titegroup and sometimes a little slower.  So pretty close to Bullseye.  I am looking forward to trying it, but I want to find it locally so there's no hazmat fee to defray, and I can buy just a pound.
