Nitro 100 was 'reformulated' a good long time ago. What happened was they were forced by world politics and trade agreements to change manufacturers.

The 'new' stuff is quite unlike the old, and why they kept the name is a mystery.

Western does not publish the very low pressure loads for this 'formulation' like they did the old, and they publish nothing for 3/4 oz.

So, you're on your own unless you have a stash of the 'old' N100.

I'm still using up a hoard of AA Lite. When I'm out, I'll likely change to American Select.
