Accurate #11FS

Has anybody tried this powder with Supers yet?

It looks very interesting. Considering buying some for my 110 (Hornday & Barnes) Supers.

It's a powder I like. Used it in testing the 150 Gold dot. It seems a bit faster than 296, slower than #9. Does well with both subs and supers. Have shot it at night in a 8" barrel with no muzzle device and it pretty well lives up to the FS part of it's name. Suppressed flash is non existent.

I have commented on it numerous times, never did a dedicated thread, but if you input 11FS in the google search bar most of it comes up. search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=11fs

Threw together some loads yesterday using formed Winchester brass, CCI Sm Rifle primers, and win296 powder. All were seated to 2.175". Used AR15 16" barrel and shot at 50 yards.

17.3 gr Win296 averaged 1950 fps, 28 SD, .7" at 50 yards
17.8 gr Win296 averaged 1980 fps, 11 SD, .9" at 50 yards

While the groups were ok, I think I'd like to get more velocity. Any suggestions? I used Win296 because it was really all I had on hand and it's been great for 110-125 gr bullets. Wanting to get a good load and test it out on some pigs.

Don't be afraid to move the bullet out and add powder, but take it slow and small. You can push 296 hard, but hen it hits max, it comes on fast and high. Cratered primer to blown primer in .2 grains or less.

100 yards, 2 for sighters then one for score
