Vectan Ba9 1/2. Recipes

[Oldhand]

Picked up some Vectan Ba9 1/2,  didn’t know if anyone had some load data for a 5”  barrel,  40 of course.   Did the search and couldn’t find anything but the data sheets I already have.   Haven’t had time to Chrono rounds yet, and tired of the WSF.

I used a couple lbs of it last year, with coated bullets at 1.15 it took around 4.7 or 4.8 grains to make major (in an STI edge). I'll try to take a look for the exact data this evening.

Thats not bad the WSF  I'm loading to 6.0 to make major (with a little cushion) @ 1.185 using FMJ 180Gr.   I'm being told the powder is pretty clean, how did you like it?

I really like vectan powders. I stuck with prima SV because it was cheaper. they are all very clean and consistent.

Out of Kuna I see, I met my wife there in Meridian.  How did it preform in the cold, noticed much of a drop in velocity?

i didn't get to test ba9.5 in a wide spread of temps, but in my experience the other vectan powders are not temp sensitive at all. I chrono at 30 degrees and get the exact same result at 80 degrees at a match.

Excellent...
