lidu powder

[bulletman]

I got low on Goex today and tried some of this stuff, I had one can 3F, It shot better than my Goex !. Anyone know where to get it online ?, or in Georgia or Alabama ?

Harpman, I get mine by the case from Deer Creek Products. You can call Irwin Fagel at: 765-525-6181. My 40 cal. T/C Cleland Match rifle can do 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds with that stuff. Hope this helps.
Harpman/blue sharp...sounds like a harmonica player to me, I play rythm/base.

What is the cost!!

Lidu is made in China. I caught a LOT of flak on other boards because of it. Some say it is junk, extremely cruddy, nothing more than firecracker powder sold as gunpowder, etc. etc. etc. The wife and I go through more than 35 pounds of 3f BP annually. Which starts adding up quickly at $15.00 @ lb. Chinese powder at half that price was worth me testing it out for us.

I found it possibly/maybe dirtier than Goex (since I swab between every shot anyways, no big deal there). An hours work at the range to find that "sweet load" resulted in just as much accuracy as any powder I've tried. I did find however, that it doesn't work in those low charge ranges that I use in my pistol shooting. 18 to 20 grains loads in a 45 cal pistols doesn't make it. I have to use Goex or Swiss when I compete at the nationals.

On rifles, I have to be using at least 45 grains in a 40 cal to get good groups with a tight fitting patch ball combination at 25 yds. 65 grains just nails it at 100 yds.

Can't hurt to try it, :results: depending on weather conditions where you live. I like it and $250.00 savings per annum makes me happy. ::

Guess I should of read this before I wrote my lines on "Huge chunks of " lots of good stuff from every one Now if someone will tell Me why you have 2 of the same rifles shooting the same load and it dont shoot the same????( both cut rifeling if it matters. At 25 yds Ive shot 475 gr 451s did great with just 30 grs 2f and 3f too, the 500 and 550s wouldnt " get right" till 200 yds with 75 to 90 grs, ? something about needed the yards to get stable, go figure I gave up trying ,more fun to just try this and that and shoot!Happy to see Im not the only one that doesnt belive 1/66 is RB only, :front: :front:

Dont know how I messed this up I was putting it on the Target shooting...... this is still ( the PC )new to me. :front: :front: :front:

$19.00? :shocking: :shocking: :shocking:
Even $9.00 is overpriced! I think I paid $5.25 a pound by the 25 pound case last June.

Maybe Harpman will tell us what Irwin Fagel from Deer Creek Products wants nowadays.

I got mine from Deer Creek Products, You can reach Irwin at; 765 525 6181. He's in and out alot, you may have to leave a message.

I also know of alot of BP shotgunners (at the nationals) that use that stuff too.

Thanks for the reply and info.

 

[Nightwind]

Has anyone had a chance to call and find out what Lidu is priced at lately?

 

[Old Charlie]

I know it is made in china and I wont buy it. I think we should buy American made. Just perhaps the people at Goex will put a little money up to help us keep our guns if it is putting money in their pocket!

The chinese will help us keep our guns too, remember they had a real cozy relationship with Clinton. Who knows how much money they pump into our government and country so they can sell their goods here. eace:
