I had to come back and reread his statement too. Spilled, unburned powder left in the barrel after the projectile has exited makes no sense. If it spilled down into the gun, it had to have spilled out as the cartridge was being stripped off of the magazine which means the projectile was just...
The same way they make accurate rifle rounds. Find the best OAL for your barrel with that projectile then do ladder testing with different powders to find which one works best with your gun/projectile/OAL. Also use a chrono to help determine which charge is also is most consistent.
These are the ones for 30-30. I think you bought the ones for the 300 blackout...

As mentioned, it doesn't meter well, and it is dirty. but it's a great powder. I broke my right wrist a few months ago, so all that I have been able to do is load / chrono testing of 9mm bench rested shooting left handed. I have tested 3 different projectiles with 5 different powders so far...
I've been doing a lot of 9MM load testing with different powder and projectile combinations since I picked up a chrono earlier this year. So far the most accurate and consistent round that I have found uses Unique.
I spent 30 years working for appliance and electronics retailers. A long time ago, the smaller retailers learned to form buyers groups to pool their buying power and purchase in larger quantity so they could compete with big retail. Mom and pop gun stores need to figure this out.
It seems to be headed in that direction. Brick and mortar gun stores don't (or won't) seem to compete with online price. I'm all for buying local, but I'm not going to give them $200 more for the same gun.
I was under the impression that the nickel plating is slicker than brass making it easier and more reliable to chamber. This is the reason a lot of premium self defense ammo is nickle plated. Nickle plated brass does however split after fewer reloads than standard brass. So it depends on what...
