I am coming back to this Thread ' to add ' in case anyone stumbles across it in the future looking into info reference for .25 x 45 (.25 sharps) .. Load Data
& the ( A-2200 ) is really good and you can 'Really' wring-out the velocity of 87 grn bullets with it when if you pushing the need for speed with 25x45 .
Out of curiosity last week a grabbed a Lb. of ( A-2230 ) and did a little Chrony. work and load workup with it and 87 grn speer's . and I got to say that 'for me' I do for a fact get little 'better average' consistent tighter groups at 100 yard .
The deal is though with the A-2230 is that it is a little slower and to get anywhere near 2800 fps like with using the A-2200 . You got to start getting into light compressing of powder load in the Case . Not to bad to 2700 vel. but just a 'little' light crunching when capping off .
Compare to 25.5 of A2200 @ 2800+ and a little room to spare on Case capacity . I could easy squeeze more Vel. also, as the Primers look 'nice round edge' not flat, and the Brass look good and Un-bastardized after extraction .
So I now am moving 27.7 grn powder ( full case capacity ) on Fed. Brass, and just over 2700+ Vel fps. but I got to say the group size really consistently looks tighter @ 100 yrd. . The Primers are looking a little flatter but not bad at all, and Brass still looking good and extracting nice with using Adj. SLR gas block .
I need to get it out in the night with some NV and see if any or how much if any 'fluff powder flash' there might be coming out the Suppressor with me filling more Case capacity with a slower burn powder .
The A2200 was really pretty good burn with a 16" barrel length and I noticed only once in a while was a just little bit of very light muzzle flash being pushed out of the Can in front of the NV sight Obj. .
I will burn trough the whole Lb. of 2230 to 100% make my mind up . But overall so far have not had any negative using the A-2230 and it looks like a good working powder also for .25 Sharps
