Description
Accurate Powders' No. 11 FS is a versatile medium-slow burn rate powder, optimally designed for both rifle and handgun applications. It is ideally used in magnum handgun rounds such as the .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum, as well as small to medium caliber rifle cartridges like the .223 Remington and .308 Winchester. The spherical granules of No. 11 FS ensure excellent metering properties through most powder measures, contributing to consistent load performance and ease of use during reloading. This powder is formulated to deliver a high level of temperature stability, maintaining consistent velocities across varying weather conditions, which is an essential trait for precision shooters and hunters seeking reliability in diverse environments. Load development with No. 11 FS should focus on careful examination of pressure signs and velocity, ensuring safety and optimal performance given its medium-slow burn rate. Known for its clean-burning characteristics and minimal residue, this powder enhances loading efficiency and firearm maintenance, highly valued by the handloading community for its adaptability and consistency.
