john brown Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I opened a container of ffg APP powder why is it so clumpy and powdery ? Also 22 gr brings me to the base of a 250 grain 45 cal bullet in a Colt case. Does this all sound correct. Thank You JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Yes that's the way it is, shake it up to get rid of the clumps. Is that by weight or volume? At the base of the bullet very slightly touching is the correct load. kR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Curly SASS#57086 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The older production of APP was very clumpy but the latest bottles I purchased seemed a lot better. Only shoot APP a couple times a year so maybe I have been lucky. I prefer real black so not much experience . DC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Bob Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Just a note of curiosity - the last 3 lbs of 3F APP I got were actually 2 F. Incorrectly labelled containers. Edited June 6 by Too Tall Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
