Ballistic tests for SBR Socom D063-01 smokeless gunpowder show it is appropriate for both pistol and rifle cartridges with a near-straight walled case design.

The propellant gas generation rate is appropriate.300 Blackout, 7.62×39,.30-30,.22 Hornet, and many lever-action pistol and rifle cartridges where the rapid transformation from powder to gas is desired. This is a similar burn speed to the Accurate 1680.

Specification:

The performance of the Winchester Super X is perfect, whether you are shooting a.22 caliber rifle or a.223 calibers semi-automatic rifle. Where it really shines is with a 150-grain FMJ or hunting bullet.

The 300 Blackout is one of the most accurate, reliable cartridges ever made. It’s best used for hunting and target shooting, but SOCOM gives you the power of a.30-30 Winchester with a 200-grain bullet. The power of a 16” round at 2,150 fps from a 150-grain bullet is quite impressive, given this small cartridge. Because of its burn rate and density, there’s every indication that this propellant will work well with the larger magnum pistol family. Whereas 1680 is a little too slow for the.500 S&W cartridge, and like gas-generated cartridges, SOCOM gas generation rates keep up with the expansion ratios of these large magnum pistol bores and bullet sectional densities. The density of SOCOM is about 99 grams per cc. It contains a level of flash suppressant.

Powder dispensing systems are designed to have a very consistent output with any powder. Here are the ingredients of SBR Socom D063-01.1 rocket propellant: Carbon Dioxide, Hydroxyl Terminated Polybutadiene Copolymer, and Polysulfone.

Warning About Smokeless Powder:

Never exceed the load listed in the reloaders guide. When mixing two or more powders, never mix them. Never substitute another powder for Black Powder or a Black Powder substitute.
