    Powder group buy Ramshot X-Terminator

    I was thinking about getting a few pounds of Ramshot X-Terminator powder to try out but paying the haz-mat fee just kills me.

    Is anyone in the Santa Cruz/ Bay area interested in a small group buy? You'd need to pick it up in or around Scott's Valley or coordinate with me to pick it up at my work in San Jose. (M-Th 8-4:30)

    Does anyone have any experience with this powder?

    I hope it turns out to be a good 223 powder because we just got about 20lbs of it between 3 of us.
    It ranks in the top 10 powders for 223 with 55gr fmj bullets when I ran a quickload simulation.

    Code:
    Cartridge          : .223 Rem.
    Bullet             : .224, 55, Hornady FMJ-BT w/c 2267
    Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.260 inch or 57.40 mm
    Barrel Length      : 18.0 inch or 457.2 mm
    
    Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
    
    Matching Maximum Pressure: 55000 psi, or 379 MPa
    
    or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %
    
    These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
    C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
    loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
    that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
    and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

    58 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 80%. These powders have been skipped.

        How did the Ramshot X-Terminator powder workout for .223 55gr loads? I am thinking about getting some for use in a 16" barrel and want to reach m193 velocity.
