Description
Rottweil's P 801 is a propellant powder with a burn rate categorized as fast, making it particularly well-suited for handgun and pistol loads. Due to its specific characteristics, it excels in applications where quick ignition and consistent pressure build-up are required. The physical form of P 801 is small-grained, facilitating excellent metering properties that ensure uniform powder charges and consistent ballistic performance. Temperature stability is a notable feature of P 801, offering reliable performance across a range of environmental conditions, which is highly appreciated by those seeking dependable results in diverse climates. Popular caliber pairings for P 801 include 9mm Luger and .45 ACP, where its burn rate is optimal for both standard and high-performance loading. Load development with P 801 should take into consideration its rapid energy release, allowing for efficient loading processes and achieving desired ballistic characteristics without excessive load pressure. Handloaders benefit from its predictable nature, backed by Rottweil's reputation for producing quality powders with precise manufacturing standards.
