Anyone used PP 1200-r to load Grendel? More inside.

So quibling with English syntax is an acceptable form of query? The term 'this' can be inferred to either powder and that is the way I interpreted the comments the first two times I read it. On a fourth and fifth reading, I can see that the term can be inferred to apply to just one powder. We all get sloppy with English from time to time.

The point is that one can raise questions about these issues. Gratuitous challenges are neither polite nor welcomed here.

At the risk of being "not welcome here", I present you the following comments on Reloader 10X.

I tried RL-10X and found it dangerous to use with the Grendel and any weight bullet. Note I didn't say 'hot', I said 'dangerous'. Shortly after I mentioned this on the old forum, Alexander advised us strongly not to use RL-10X with the Grendel.

As an example, when Reloader 10X came out it appeared to be an extruded powder ideal for the Grendel. Some of us tired it, me included, and found it to be dangerous unless you were using bullets weighing under 90 grains and then used very light loads. Certaninly nothing coming close to a 90% case fill. Alexander confirmed this and cautioned us against using it although it appeared to be a good powder. I don't think Alexander ever figured out why it was dangerous in a Grendel case but it sure was. Anyone who had loaded more conventional cartridges like a .308 would have assumed that 10X ought to be great in the Grendel.

I think about the best extruded powder we have found for the Grendel is 8208 XBR.

I could post more, but you get the point. No getting sloppy with the English Language here. It has been repeated many times.

My concern is who is correct? Hornady and Nosler or the Grendel forum?
