The Patriot
The Patriot will be one of our customers’ new favorite go-to propellants for 223, 5.56mm, 308 Winchester, 7.62mm, 22-250, 6mm ARC, and 6.5 Grendel, among others. If you currently use a bunch of H335, this propellant is right about the same burn speed and density. But…the Patriot contains flash suppression additives, while H335 does not.
This propellant is spherical, has a bulk density of 0.975, and flows well through volumetric loaders.
Ballistic load data using SAAMI test methods and standards for The Patriot propellant is available at www.shootersworldsc.com
As with any propellant and load combination, a minor change to any of the components of the test load CAN result in significant shift in ballistic performance. This shift can cause unintended high pressures, and result in injury or death. Therefore, Shooters World LLC, nor the manufacturer of this propellant take no responsibility for the intentional or unintentional misuse of this product. The charge weight noted are NOT recommended, either as a starting nor completed load. It is shown merely as an indication of potential performance in one test load, shot to SAAMI standards.
