Dominion Powders Now Available

looking at getting 5lbs of D4064SSC for my 6.5 creed shooting 140's and 223 shooting 55gr

any input of speeds? from what I have skimmed it is on par with IMR4064? 1 powder 2 rifles would be convenient

I did try the D4350 was decent but seems like everyone is getting slow speeds..

I was getting 2715 with 42 D4350 and 140 matchburners and 2650 with 41.5 and 140 RDF, both with CCI 400’s plus still room in the case for more powder. It’s not a particularly fast barrel either, I was getting 2750 with 41.5 H4350.

You seem to be the only one with this experience, I know you are using a good Chrono too! So why do you think you are getting better speeds than others?
 
I’m just getting into reloading and plan on loading 223, 308 and 30-06 (for a Garand). Is there one powder that CanAm has available that would be a good choice for all 3 of those calibers or would I be better off getting 2 different kinds?

Not sure, I’m swapping barrels soon, I’ll do more testing with a new(er) barrel and let you know how it turns out.

I haven't used them yet, but I'd say the d4064. I'll be ordering some soon for my 708 and 3006

I wasn’t sure where to end my chrono test, but I may try a little higher next week. The primers looked like they could be abused more. Lol!

The load before it was similar. 22.6 grains @ 2520 fps. Just 5 fps slower than the 22.8 gn load. I’ll test 22.7 and try groups.
 
Forgot to mention, fwiw, using the same reloading process, here is a comparison between Varget and this latest batch of D4064. Using .223 caliber, 90gn JLK and close to freezing air temps.

Varget (purchased Dec 2020, 1091720 7225)
22.7 gn...... 2539 fps
23.0 gn...... 2539 fps

D4064 (purchased March 2021, Lot #18):
22.6 gn...... 2520 fps
22.8 gn...... 2525 fps

I don't know if it'll be as close using other bullet weights in other temps, but I found it interesting.

Can you read the batch number? It should say on the container. Just for future references.

Wasn't it a given that 4895 was the military rifle powder for decades. Perhaps 3031 for light.bullets.....you know 303#1? Sorry dont think dominion makes 3031.
