Vectan powders for 454 Casull

[Hunter4752001]

Handgun powders in my country have become increasingly difficult to source and as such I need to expand the range of powders I try. Recently one company has imported a shipment of Vectan powders. Primarily I need a powder suitable for hunting loads in the 454 Casull using a 300 grain projectile (Swift A-Frame, Hornady XTP mag, Sierra etc). Powders likely to achieve what I need are : BA 6 1/2 and SP3. Unfortunately the data published by Vectan only goes to 250 grain projectiles. Would appreciate any data people may have.

Contact Vectan directly, they have been helpful to me

I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago. No reply as yet. That was why I reached out to those forum members with experience in these powders. Normally I'd give them more time to respond, but the importers placed a 7 FEB deadline for orders.

Seems like their customer service is not what it used to be

Sent them another email and they responded straight away with the data needed. Can't fault that for customer service. I suspect my first email probably 'fell off' the internet in transit.

@Hunter4752001 what are you shooting 454 out of? Rossi or Big Horn lever action or a handgun?
