How many people have tried Ramshot Powders, especially True Blue or Silhouette as it looks like I can at least get one if not both right now through Grafs? I normally run Unique powder as my general bench powder, but we all know fun it is to get most powder currently.
I have never used their pistol powders, but I love the TAC powder for .223 and .308. Alot of reloaders on here like that silouette powder and I plan to try it.

I run Silhouette in large quantities. It is similar to Unique in burn rate, however, it isn't dirty as hell like Unique. True Blue is faster.
Silhouette is the old WAP repacked with flash suppressor. Good powder, WSF and WAP have next to no muzzle flash out of my G17 at night.

That's good to hear, I picked up some TAC from the local shop - stock he had still on the shelf at the old prices. Need to work up some AR rounds with Hornaday 55gr FMJ's.
Any experiences to share?
:)

To me it's on par with Accurate powders like 5-7-9 and is physically identical.
I get in trouble for saying enforcer = 9, and true blue = 7, so I won't go there.
Love TAC and buy it in 8# jugs for my AR's, and tried the Enforcer. These ball powder burn hot as a MOFO, but meter great!
They Listed on the load sheet that Enforcer could easily push a 45ACP 230 well into +P speed with out the +P pressure. It's true, but there's so much unburnt powder left over it's not funny! Been meaning to try it in 10mm!
BTW: I use 24.7grs of TAC w/ HNY 55gr'er for my AR (primer is CCI#41)... Very Accurate...
Thanks for bringing this up! Going to get me some more TAC next week, so you guys don't go hording it now!!!:) I'm just getting one 8#'er...
Shoot Jayhawker I wish you where closer, we could save on the hazmat!!!

I just picked up some TAC and Xterminator. I have loaded a couple of dozen testers, but didn't get a chance to shoot them yet. I did notice that the TAC leaks out my Lee Auto Disc. Drove me nuts.:(
I use True Blue in .45 GAP. 7.4 gr. under a 200 gr. Berry's bullet and it's extremely accurate and the velocties are ultra consistent. Meters like water as well. Made in Belgium.
