I was hoping some people who have used it can share their experiences using it, how it differs from other powder, etc.

Any help on the topic appreciated.

I tried it in a couple of pound of it in a couple of rifles.  In my CPA with a .38-55 Ron Smith barrel I found it worked well with breech seated PP bullets, a little better than Swiss 1.5 at 200m actually.   In my Borchardt in .45-90 it shot well at short range ( 200m ) but was something like 80-90 fps slower than my match load with Swiss 1.5.   The velocity variation was terrible when compared to Swiss 1.5.

Most of us here in Canberra use it as Swiss is not available here, also the Wano is A$40 a kilo cheaper and available.
We get it in two grades, ordinary amd the best which is called P grade and comes in P, PP, and PPP.
I cant tell any difference in accuracy in my rifle at 100 and 200 meters but the Swiss I have used ( 1.5 ) gives more velocity by about 10% with possibly slightly less fouling.

Agree with Mick,I found the Wano P just as accurate in my 40/65 as Swiss and cheaper, as I clean between shots Swiss is no advantage re fowling,

    Cheers Mal in au.
