roughshooter Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 If it is Green then it is not Alliant steel - more likely M92S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I found m92s to have a strong solvent smell but that was in a kilo tub of it. I've never noticed a smell in any other powders I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus Hunter Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks for the replies guys,I didn't think the cartridges performed aswell as the last batch either,I'll keep them for the over and under as their just to dirty in the semi auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus Hunter Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yep just had a look on Google and that's definitely what it looks like, looks like false advertising from gamebore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1961 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 It's very hard to identity powder from pictures be careful if home loading cut a couple of grains of the recipe then work you're way up till you reach the sweet spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 If they are advertising they are using alliant steel, and the powder is NOT alliant steel, drop them an email and complain strongly! Inform them of your findings, more dirt, less performance etc, you may well get a good will gesture, Not the two fingered variety though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1961 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 That looks like 2f powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxus Hunter Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Ok thanks for the replies guys, it's defo not alliant steel powder then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Could be anything, why not just ring Gamebore and ask them. Cartridges can quite often have different powders in them if a specific one isn't available at the time of production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel smith Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 gamebore use m92s aswell as alliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Be carful you cannot tell the difference between M92 and F2 X 28 just by looking at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 They won't be using F2X28 for steel loads so I would say it is M92S. A good powder and very stable in cold temperatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Graham I took over 3 1/2 kg of Fx2x28 out of blue diamond steel cut offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestcontrol1 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Could it not be F2 35 same as F2 28 no colour fleck or as I got told last year a Winchester powder 380 rings a bell iv had a sleep since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
