I picked up a 4lb container of this a few months ago. I’ve been quite pleased with its performance in the .45 ACP and .38 Super. Great metering clean ball type powder. Burn rate is in between two of my favorite powders. It’s a bit slower than Accurate #5 and a bit faster than Accurate #7. I’d sure appreciate seeing more data published for it.

I use this power to reload 20 ga shotgun shells. The power working fine no misfires.

So far I have used 2 lbs of 572 for 9mm with 147g coated & 147g JHP bullets. It is the slowest pistol powder I have used. Its about 50th from the top on a Hodgdon burn rate chart, nonetheless charge weights are still pretty small. It is primarily a shotgun powder so I didn’t expect it to be clean burning. Pleasant surprise — it burns cleaner than many traditional pistol powders. It also meters very consistently thru a Dillon 650. I haven’t tried it with other bullet weights or calibers but I am going to continue using it for 147g 9mm USPSA Minor PF loads.
