T680 Powder

[Riflenut]

Does anyone still use this powder? I had a pound of it given to me over 30 years ago, and still have a little left. It works very well in the 22 Hornet with 45 gr. bullets. It fills the case perfectly, and I use it for turkey loads.
I'm not quite sure but I think AA1680 is very similar..

If you're looking for a replacement, you might try Lil Gun. I believe it burns at a similar rate and I've read reports of it giving a little bit better velocities in the 22 hornet than AA1680.

I believe that you are correct, and I do have some Lil Gun on hand. I'll definitely have to give it a try. What I like about the T680 is that it fills the case and gives me velocities in the 2000 fps range with a Sierra 45 gr. (#1310) bullet, which works great for taking turkeys without doing too much meat damage.
