Data powder 85

[LouisV]

Does anyone have any experience with the Data 85 powder from Accurate. I have found some onfo, like to use the same data as Hunter. Is it temp.sensitive? I plan to use it mainly in 6.5x55 and 7mm08. Thanks. LouisV

I am not familar with Hunter powder nor Data 85.  I bought some Data powder --not 85-- that they said had a similar burn rate to AA2015 and have used that data with not problems.  If anything the data powder seems a bit slower. 
I would think you could use any powder info with a burn rate similar to Hunter if you can find a burn chart that has Hunter on it.  Use the data with circumspection, of course.
As far as Temp Sensitive is concerned, I wouldn't worry about it too much.  Unless you plan on really pushing the envelope.

DP85 is a slow burning powder, slow burning powders are generally less temperature sensitive than faster burning powders, so it should be tolerant of high temperatures, but use common sense.

Have you seen this information?  http://www.accuratepowder.com/datapowder_dp85.htm

Thanks for the replys, My main concern with the temp. sensitivity is that I"ll be useing it for silhouette shooting. If I get a zero early in the morning, I still want it as good as it can be in the afternoon. Besides the normal changes in zero caused by the day heating up. I did get to shoot 10 rounds thru my chrony this weekend and got ALOT wider extreme spread than I would like. It could have been the light messing with the chrony as I did get one error. I'll try again with the same load and some with different primers. I have seen the info from the Accurate site but that was really all I could find. LouisV
