Buckshot Bear Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Anyone ever used Vectan powder? Powder is still very problematic to acquire here in Australia, imports still haven't caught up with demand. I was lucky that at a gun shop in Sydney when I was there last week had just taken delivery of an order and I was able to get the four below.

Jack Spade Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Back about 2 years ago I found some Vectan ba-9. I found loading data online and shot it in 45 acp. Had to do some playing with it but found a load I liked. Nice that it is a 1.1 pound can and usually cheaper by the pound than most powders. Has a distinct smell when you shoot it.

Yohan Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I don't know about their powders but just finished up 5,000 Nobel Primers with only 1 Fail to fire that shell is in the weeds deep in the woods of Oak Ridge somewhere as I can only throw so far :-). Anyway if their powders are that good it should be good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great news PM that some powders are starting to arrive onshore down here. I've heard that NIOA's is supposed to be getting a large shipment, but that's been said for awhile now.

Lassy LaRock Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I have been taking BA 10 for many years. Is one of the fastest powders on the European market. Is the preferred powder for CAS loads in Cal. .38 from many European CAS shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
