I have burned about 50 lbs of TG under commercial cast H&G 68s over the last 25+ years, not
really sure when I switched from BE to TG. TG seems to burn slightly cleaner, not a big deal and
was cheaper than BE, readily available since my indoor range was owned by Hodgdon, and
their offices were next door until maybe 6 or 8 years ago.
In .45 ACP, it is nearly identical in performance vs charge wt as BE. Fairly similar in other
cartridges that I have tried, too.

We had a serious powder shortage here for a couple of years. I had to buy ANY powder that showed up. Got to try some pretty strange powders. The one really useful thing I learned was that AA#9 is a better behaved 2400.

I have a GP100 that flat refused to ever toss a fired cartridge on the ground no matter how much I hulk smashed the ejector rod. I used these guys to lightly polish the cylinders.

Pretty good results three cylinders just clear cylinders and the other three just dangle if they fail to clear. Going to have a go again after a couple more MTMs of 357s just to be sure it's the three same cylinders everytime. For a lay person like me this worked really well to polish cylinders.
