secant0give Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I purchased some PSB2 quite some time ago and just got some new stuff the other day. The odd thing was that this new PSB2 that I've got is a different colour than the old stuff ?? The older PSB2 I must have got about 8 years ago perhaps more I'm not entirely sure Has anyone loaded PSB2 and noticed a colour change? Or is it possable I've been loading something else Thinking it was PSB2 It looks the same cut and sizes as PSB2 but the colour is different.?? And looking at UEE's web sight the pinkish colour is correct for PSB2. It's defiantly the right cut for UEE PSB series powder. The older batch that I purchased was clearly marked PSB2 and I've had no trouble with it loading as PSB2 But I was just a bit confused about the colour being different. I was wondering if they did a change of colour for PSB2 at some Stage in the past. Does anyone know ?? Cheers Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 what colour is the old PSB2?, all the batches ive bought in the last 10 years have been pinky coloured, excellent powder for 30-32g loads, it may be worth ringing Clay and Game to see if its been a different colour in the past mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am left wonering what it was that I was using. ?? here is a pic of the powder I previously brought as PSB2 obviously it's not PSB2 but what is it ? It's a little hard to make out from the pics on RIOs powders web page Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 cant help with that one, ive got no idea what it is, you are probably best to get rid of it and get some of the real stuff, clay and game sell it. ive use it for 30-32g lead loads with very good results mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secant0give Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 There's no way I'll be ditching it as I've got a couple of light cast bullet loads for the 45-70 and the 8X56 Kropatschek that work great with it and one for the Rossi lever gun in 357 mag that's very very consistent as well. I was just reluctant to use it in the 12 bore because I was never quite sure of it. The new stuff I have is the right colour and I'll use that in the 12 bore OK and I guess I could use the crono to compare equal loads of both the old and the new powder in the Rossi to learn a little more about it. But I don't know if I'll bother. I'm just curious as to what this older powder actually is. It's good stuff burns clean and is quite useful. Thanks for the info I really do appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
