Ramshot Silhouette

[TXTad]

While rooting around in my loading stash not long ago, I discovered that I had about 4 pounds of Winchester WAP that a friend gave me years ago. This powder is now discontinued, but the internet says that it's the same thing as Ramshot Silhouette. Brownells had a no-hazmat sale last week, so I added a pound of Silhouette to my powder order so I can do some comparisons to see if they track together. Like a few other Ramshot powders, Silhouette moves around the burn rate charts. Some show it barely slower than Bullseye, somewhere close to Green Dot, while others show it closer to Blue Dot. I believe the latter is more correct. Hodgdon's website shows some very good velocities with Silhouette for .38 Special +P, so I'm inclined to think that the slower speed is the most accurate.

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience or opinions about Silhouette.

 

[Petrol & Powder]

I used a lot of WAP back when it was sold under that name.
It was OK in the cartridges I used it in but unless you are operating near the max pressures, it would not be my first choice.

In 9mm it worked but there were better options (like WSF).
In 38 Special. WW231 or Bullseye proved to be far more economical.
