Gee, I hate to reply to my own thread, but.............

I pulled a couple of bullets from my newly acquired .17 Hornady Superformance ammo.
I have the gun on order, as well as the dies, etc.

The powder weighed exactly 12.5 gr. Although I have NOT compared it to other powders in my collection, it appeared to be:

- a light gray ball powder with a significant amount of flakes in it also......
I have NOT been this stoked about any of the 29 calibers I currently reload. I love the .17 HMR because in my 3 guns, it does not even require hearing protection. Although I ALWAYS wear them, a lot of the ladies I train, do not like them, due to 'hair' issues..... wtf???
