Well said, 2P. I agree 100%. I use Nitro 100, one of the fastest burning powders of the bunch, in my 12 ga. loads. With light shot charges(7/8 or 1 oz.) it produces relatively low pressures. It is also economical to load, due to the small quantities required. I load it for about 1150 fps. Recoil is a bit less, as well, compared to that with powders requiring several more grains, to produce the same velocity.
