Title: Three Forks has N570
Post by: hogslayer on July 18, 2017, 07:07:44 AM: I just thought i would throw this out there. Three forks has some N570. I know some guys were running that powder. I absolutely love it. Tested 45 degrees and 80 with no change in velocity.

I'll have to run some some more and see if I can get it dialed in. I've been getting mine from Graf's - only $20 hazard fee.

But, it seems to come at a cost of faster throat erosion, too. That's why barrels are threaded on, not welded on though. :chuckle: :chuckle:
