NicVerAZ Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My reloads and those of others using TiteGroup have a bizarre pleasant smell reminiscent of baby powder. I am the only one to notice? And why is that, do you think? Has it always been the case? I have been using TiteGroup for a few months as N320 simply disappeared. Thanks!

EngineerEli Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I used to shoot TG and don't remember a distinct smell, but it is definitely possible. I now shoot WST and it definitely has a sweet smell. I can tell when anyone else is shooting it. Personally I like the smell, smells like shooting!

DoBell Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I definitely like how titegroup smells, can't say it reminds me of baby powder but it's pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo-Hombre Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Baby powder? nyet The only powder I've ever gotten a weird smell from is unique. Were you using some kind of funky home brew bullet coating lube? Back in the cowboy shooting days I had some crazy ass concoctions! Bullet lube of beeswax, mutton tallow, lard. No kidding! That mixed with real deal black powder made for some amazing aromas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPostman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 More like burned baby powder lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anm2_man Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I use Tight Group but it never smells like baby powder. Now if you want a powder that smells bad, try Rad78 (.50 cal spotter powder). It will make your eyes water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicVerAZ Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Were you using some kind of funky home brew bullet coating lube? Ah you may be onto something. I use Bayou bullets. And so does a buddy of mine, same combo and same coating, in this case the golden coating, plus Tite Group. It's actually nice. It makes everybody happy.

nagantino Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This an old thread but ….I went looking for “Titegroup and odd smells” and here it is. It’s been driving me crazy these last weeks. WHAT IS THAT SMELL.? I’ve changed soap, deodorant, I’ve blamed the wife’s deodorant everything. Now I know someone else suffers. I thought it was my grandson, or his baby bottle. It is a thing. It’s not a bad smell nor is it like steak on a pan, it’s jusTt WHAT IS THE SMELL. Might switch to Bullseye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Titegroup absorbs smells. I reload at my shop and once (when I started reloading with tg) someone said “your gunpowder smells like brakes”. And I’m in the brake business.

Some of the priming mix in one of those imported 22’s has a strange odor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
