Any experience with Vectan powders - particularly clay shooting?

[GKar]

Have seen info here and there about the Nobel Sport/Vectan line of powders of late.  Given the spotty availability of the popular powders for us clay shooters, was wondering if anyone on here might have had any experience with the Vectan line?  Seems BPI is slowly growing a database of load data

If that's what's in Noble Sport's shells then yes. If it isn't then no but if it's cheaper than other powders it might be worth giving a whirl. IMHO I wouldn't touch anything made by NS but that's just me. Hell I won four flats of their shells and I sold every last one of the (this was of course after I chipped a set of firing pins completely flat by shooting their shells).

Wow. Bummer. I've loaded and fired over 200,000 of their primers in reloads and never seen any sign of deterioration on the firing pins of my shotguns. Maybe the primers in their factory loads are different?

Man I don't know what to tell you except my experience.
