Description
HANDGUN POWDER
Major Pistol is made as a high-intensity pistol propellant. The gas generation rate is appropriate for cartridges of the 9mm, 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, .45
Colt, light-bullet magnum pistol loads, and other high intensity pistol cartridges. It is similar in burn speed to ACCURATE® No. 7, 2400 and Blue Dot.
It is especially good for short barrel magnum revolvers, where complete combustion, high velocity and low muzzle fl ash are desired. It is also possible
to achieve extremely high velocities in 9mm Luger and custom tuned competition guns with Major Pistol.
For those seeking high intensity energy in common automatic pistol calibers, this propellant has excellent characteristics. The surface conditions
of Major Pistol aff ord better than normal ignition, where other propellants are heavily deterred at the surface and therefore diffi cult
to ignite.
That said, be advised that this propellant wants to run towards the upper pressure limits of a pistol cartridge, in order to fully combust. This is fully expected, and one of the trade-off s to its extremely high performance. You’d not tether a race-horse to a plow, nor should you seek meek pistol loads with this propellant. Despite this statement, we have successfully run subsonic .223 and .308 loads with this propellant. Even with low loading densities, this propellant is readily ignitable.
